The kind of role I play is like an offensive lineman; doing a good job but not being noticed. I feel sorry for myself sometimes. But as long as the end result is there, I can dig it.
There's a creative freedom with being under the radar. But I guess if you're too under the radar, you get canceled?
I had to start all the way down the divisions and that is really difficult. You might be playing well and having great performances - but nobody ever watched us.
The last few years haven't been as good so I can fly under the radar, come in and do the best I can and I don't have all these high hopes placed on me.
It's ironic that at age 32, at probably the greatest moment of my career, with The Godfather having such an enormous success, I wasn't even aware of it, because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.

But my problem was that I did an hour for Comedy Central and nobody seemed to care.
We all admire great accomplishments in the sciences, arts, and humanities - but we rarely acknowledge how much we achieve in the course of our everyday lives.
I feel like I've got a nice little niche where I stay just below the radar, which is perfect. I just don't want to be known for anything other than music.
