I'm not defining my band by other people's music, but by my own.
thinking waiting projects
I wait and take on projects that I think can work.
knows speakers
Lincoln was the greatest speaker and he was ridiculed for how he looked, you know?
wrecks want ifs
If it's going to be wrecked, I want to make sure I wreck it.
hurt people feelings
When you start searching for your name, you might be thrilled with what a lot of people say and it just takes one person. And it can hurt your feelings, but I have been aware of the fan bases and stuff like that and realize how deeply involved they are.
zeta traffic going-to-work
I wanted very much to do Traffic and at one point it looked like I was going to work on it. And then, of course, Catherine Zeta-Jones had her relationship with Michael Douglas and it suddenly didn't happen.
competition actors stealing
I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.
believe humiliated knows
I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.
storytelling western

dream our-generation generations
Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life.

dream ocean thinking
I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams.
I just tried to build on my failures.
people ifs
You just do the things that you love and see if other people can like them too.
