London has such an unbelievable respect for theater, where L.A. does not. You go to a play here, and the dude next to you is sleeping.

There are certain functions that a writer has to do. In a time of crisis, it is great to have heroic poems, as it was in the Irish Revolution. It's great to have great songs, because people need something to sing when they are marching. That's OK, but it should be on the side. It's not the ultimate thing.

There's this thing in Hollywood about the sympathetic character and likability. I've never understood that because the people I love most in my life are not likable all the time. My wife is not always likable. I'm certainly not always likable. My dad is not always likable. We're human beings.
We had all these smiley family pictures all over the walls of my house, but I always found those pictures to be odd because we weren't smiling all the time. I don't want to paint the picture of a total dysfunctional house, but there were a lot of arguments in that house. A lot of pain.

But it really reveals to you what it means to be over time, and if you have enough time.

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me.

I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.
