I knew the character that I wanted to play. A guy who was like me, or what people think I am. The guy who you thought had everything going for him and when you pulled the curtains away, you see this guy who is just as confused, sad, lonely, neurotic and insecure as anybody else.
I like to sing with people, whether they're good or not.
I wanted to show how powerful that music is, ... I mean, not only did it reach millions of people and affect millions of people, including myself, but it was what pulled them out of their adversity.
