[on 'Love + Fury' a reunion recording of the 'Headstones'] It recalibrated everybody emotionally. We got together and the songs were rusty, but we worked hard and the gig exploded. You think nobody gives a shit, it's been so long. But all of a sudden, seeing all those people - they were fanatical. It was like the 'Headstones' 2.0. It's working, we get along. we laugh our asses off. We play better, we write better, it's like nothing changed. Except the revisionist history.

I'm very, very lucky to be a working actor, but I've also been careful. I just don't take anything. I have a day job. Or a night job, I suppose. I'm that kind of actor. It's because I was a musician and still am. I go and play in my band, and I think that helps me. I have a repertoire of songs that I'm proud of. I find sometimes that if I just relax - and it's a great cast and great writing - it's like a symphony, you know? Every little nuance in every little part, when people are on their game, just comes alive.
