In choosing any role, I ask the same questions: what kind of part is it? is the role challenging? does the director have a vision? is the story moving? etc. Lukas Haas Read Quote
I like both music and acting, and they both have a lot in common – timing, immediacy, stuff like that. But acting is more regimented. You wait around for hours, you don’t get to write the script, you get hired. Music represents me better. I’m not acting; I’m just expressing myself. Lukas Haas Read Quote
One day when I was like 9, I heard the Beatles on the radio, and I asked my dad who they were. He told me they were the best band in the world, and I became obsessed. He started giving me their albums in sequential order, and I listened to them – and only them – until I was probably in high school. Lukas Haas Read Quote

I’m remixing an R.E.M. track called ‘I’ve Been High’ from their last album, ‘Reveal.’ It’s a beautiful song, but record execs didn’t put it out as a single because it didn’t sound like the R.E.M. we’re used to. So I asked Michael Stipe if I could have the tapes to do a remix, and he agreed. Lukas Haas Read Quote
I’ve had offers to sign a record deal, but the people I’ve talked to have wanted to package me and have me meet with songwriters who’ve written stuff for Whitney Houston, that sort of thing. That’s not at all my style. Lukas Haas Read Quote
I also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be in the same movie as Jack Nicholson and Glenn Close. Lukas Haas Read Quote
I was in Kansas for about a month, and we worked most of the time in a very small town, so it felt like the production basically took the whole town over. In a way, we were the Martians in Kansas. Lukas Haas Read Quote
