We are at a crossroads in the music business: with the rise of the internet the world we live in has changed and the past is not coming back. But I see the glass as half-full: the internet and social networking are new avenues for the next Bob Dylan to be born on.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.

Well there's different shades of Hollywood sure. I mean I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
