“A lot of people want to judge the fact that I'm an actor. That's ridiculous. No one knows what I was doing before I made my first movie.

“Punk was sort of an angry stance against things that had happened just before, against the pop of glam rock, against progressive rock.

“When we signed with Warner Bros., they knew what they were getting. They knew they weren't going to get some easily manipulated prepackaged pop group. That was not going to happen. What they wanted, I think, was the integrity that we had to offer. What they wanted was the kind of street cred or cache that R.E.M. could bring to them and the chance that we would give them a hit or two. What happened was we gave them a bunch of hits.

“When what you do is play characters, every day, all day, I wasn't really interested in playing a pop star on the weekends. I wanted to be myself, and it slowly turned into not being me at all, so I just didn't really see the point.
