'Romeo And Juliet' is the classic love story. When two lovers are separated and trying to get back to one another, that's fiercely romantic and something you become glued to.
I love playing characters, so I'm always telling my agents, 'Don't worry if the character description is something you think I'm not. Let me try to be that person.'
I would like to try harder to establish my thought and philosophy strongly and to go back to the universe with my love.
In terms of music, I can try anything I want, even something that doesn't work at all, because I'm not putting my career in jeopardy.
Music is a lens through which to see who we are. Every phrase of every piece of music is trying to tell a story.
I know so few people who actually give music their undivided attention, so I've been trying to just park myself on the couch between the speakers and listen.
You've got Corey Feldman doing his thing, and the problem is, they're trying to be pop stars. You can't compare Salty to any of the other actors out there playing music.
I'm an entertainer. I get up on stage and I try to make people enjoy my music, and that political arena - I'm going to stay out of it, right out.
I didn't try to think what my audience wanted and then make the music accordingly. I made the music and hoped that as many people liked it as possible.
I try to do things that keep me interested. And play music that moves me. I like to move around and play in a lot of different ways.
What music does to me, it helps me balance my inner pressure so that I can deal with the forces outside that are trying to pressure me.
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
I have a desire that I want to make people feel happy through my music. I'm always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself.
Jazz really does try to include everything. It's always been popular music. But the wonderful thing about jazz is its willingness to take chances.
So many schools have cut the music classes out of their curriculum. We're trying to fill that gap by teaching the teachers how to educate the kids about their musical heritage.
I try to show what it is about language and music that enthralls, because I think those are the two elements of poetry.
I try to give to my music the spiritual quality, very deep in the soul, which does something even if you are not realizing it or analyzing it - that's the duty of the music.
I definitely try to broaden the scope of music. I don't know if it's pop or classical or what, but I'm religiously challenging myself all the time, for better or for worse.
I would ditch school if my CD was scratched up or I couldn't get batteries. I wasn't trying to get on the bus and not be listening to music.
I've been trying to challenge myself to be more explicit. I've always liked punk rock and Sonic Youth. I make that music privately, but I've never released it.
I feel like, at the end of the day, I always would try to make music that I wanted to listen to: stuff that I liked and wanted to hear.
