There are always going to be people that are judgmental that are going to say, 'well, he was an actor first, so he doesn't have the right to be a musician,' or, 'i know him as this, so therefore i will never accept him as that.' i can't change those people. i can only be myself. and i can only keep making art. i can only do the best that i can. i am not going to spend my life trying to silence the critics. i'm going to do what i'm passionate about and follow my dreams.

More From Jared Leto

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

I read reviews of critics i respect and feel i can learn something from. right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don't necessarily have an academic or cinema background that i can detect, so i tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that i've come to respect. i like reading a good review - it doesn't have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one - because i very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics.

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

I don't view myself as a musician anymore - i view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when i'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. that's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now i look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.

Negative feelings are in you, not in reality. stop trying to change reality. that's crazy! stop trying to change the other person. we spend all our time and energy trying to change external circumstances, trying to change our spouses, our bosses, our friends, our enemies, and everybody else. we don't have to change anything. negative feelings are in you.

Not that i say,"oh,i'm not going to associate with certain people.," but i have my world,and i only want to be around people who i feel stimulated by. i have to be honest i do have a new quest: i want to meet more vegetarians,people who are more like minded. there's something real neat about that feeling. it makes you feel so settled to know there's somebody else sitting right there,being so passionate about what i'm passionate about. i don't want to be around selfish people. i try to keep myself surrounded by deep people who will move me.
