[on his addiction to drugs] It’s like I have a loaded gun in my mouth, and I like the taste of metal.

It’s a blanket statement to say, “That guy’s really sharp and amicable and nice,” because there’s a little bit of asshole in every nice guy, and there’s a little bit of genius in every moron.

[on his music] I am putting together some ideas for two or three more things I want to do. Maybe a CD of just my kind of standards, which would be Supertramp and Steely Dan covers with an orchestra. I’m deep into old Genesis. I’m sorry, but these are songs that mean something to me. “Follow You Follow Me” is a song that’s about something to me.

I know very little about acting. I’m just an incredibly gifted faker.
It was so nice to go into this fake courtroom [on Ally McBeal (1997)]. I immediately went up into the judge’s chair. Nice view. A preferable perspective.
