I also turn down what's probably a good amount of coinage to be made out of playing dads, an incredible number of obnoxious dad.

In fact, Russell Crowe once phoned me up to see if I wanted to go to a party but I had to bring my guitar and perform 'Oh Jean.'

I feel the film companies should pay for proper advertising to see that the movie will sell, instead of putting it on our backs.

I have always believed that everyone has the potential to do something extraordinary if they're guided and helped along the way.

We made a plan at school to meet in her garage and kiss. It was like this little business deal. I kissed her and then I ran home

All kinds of celebrities, political ones as well, are increasingly being targeted. In this country, with all the countless guns.

People have said, 'You don't need to do any more biopics. You don't need to play any more real people.' I don't agree with that.
