Before they did all those shows on Jackson Pollock, I loved the way he formulated his paintings. I loved Basquiat – I was into the whole Beat generation, Kerouac, etc., and all those artists talked about that and Kerouac, so I just got in the middle of being spontaneous. Matt Schulze Read Quote
As far as rock groups, I really like Stone Temple Pilots. As for classical composers, it’s Bach. I love Paganini, too, the Italian composer who would break strings during a performance and finish playing on just one string. Someone I would have loved to play with is Jimi Hendrix.

I think from the time I was a kid I’ve been an entertainer. I’ve always had the ability to play characters. When I came to California, I was overwhelmed that you could do this and get paid for it, make a living on it, and be creative within this art form. Matt Schulze Read Quote
I approach music and acting the same way, through spontaneous improvisation. I never really try to rehearse anything, do it over and over, except when we’re inside a take. Matt Schulze Read Quote
I love classical music. Yes, I was in a conservatory when I was younger and played guitar and all that stuff, so I also love rock. Matt Schulze Read Quote
When I was 17, I taught music; I had 65 students a week, and I did that for a year. So that’s pretty regular. But it was great to give the gift of music to people, seeing them learn. It’s great to influence young people in a creative way. Matt Schulze Read Quote
