Pollock also... wanted one to be wrapped in the painting.
Well, I think probably when I first got in the business, I wasn't thinking of being strictly a character actor. But I knew I wanted to be a working actor, and as the years have gone on, I just naturally evolved into that. Because, y'know, I'm not a leading guy. Never was.
I was lucky on 'Arli$$.' I basically got to do whatever I wanted because HBO is great for that.

I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people.
I wanted to share my life story and honor my roots. I am very proud of my family and mother.
