This is the way I look at sex scenes: I have basically been doing them for a living for years. Trying to seduce an audience is the basis of rock ‘n roll, and if I may say so, I’m pretty good at it…Plus, being married and monogamous, it’s the closest thing I can do to having sex without getting in trouble for it…The only thing I like more than my wife is my money, and I’m not about to lose that to her and her lawyers, that’s for damn sure.”–Movieline, February 1998

I would love to be able to do both (acting and making music). If I look at someone like Sinatra, who toured until he was 80 and made 60 movies, that would be a great life to have.

Some people just court celebrity for the sake of it. People like Tom Cruise. He was always a great actor, but I think the man’s lost it, lost it. You won’t ever catch me jumping up and down on Oprah going on about how I love this woman. And then others start feeding off it. Suddenly, Katie Holmes is on the covers of magazines. These people claim they hate the intrusion that fame brings but then they bring it on themselves by having huge entourages everywhere they go, attracting attention to themselves. It’s a great fallacy. Another one’s Paris Hilton. Famous for being infamous. And the people who should be getting the attention, people like Bob Dylan, aren’t. It’s sad.
