When I was a kid I wanted to be serious like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor do they? Now I realise how stupid that is – and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly – either you're funny and getting the laughs or you're not.
I don't dream songs. I'm more apt to write dreams down and then to be able to interpret them into a song. I also tend to get up and write prose in the morning from which will come songs.
