[About finding time to relax]
"Never. It's an impossibility. I don't even like to sleep. I feel as if there's too much to do."

[About what he looks for in a girl]
"Just someone I can relate to artistically and who can also be understanding and supportive of the demands of my lifestyle."

When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buck teeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces.

I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, "I forgot something."
