I try and find a way to love every character I play.
A character has to believe in himself, so I have to find a way to believe in them. Or at least sympathize to a degree.
Some of the most interesting characters in literature and in movies and TV have been ones that you can't quite figure out all the way.
I'm all over the place. As you may have seen from the credits, I write with everybody.
I'm kind of the town pump. I think I have a pretty good ear for what sounds good in this style.
The process depends on the situation, and I don't think there are any two songs that have gone exactly the same way... well, actually, that's not true.

On film, when you're driving home from the set, you realize what you should have done, but it's too late. When you're taking the subway home from your play, you realize what you did wrong, and you go back the next night and you do it better, or you screw it up again in a different way. It's a different thing altogether.
I'm not really a gourmet. I like to try new things.
