After discovering his name was not on the voting register, Tim refused to fill out a provisional ballot, which then led to an altercation. The police advised him to go to the Board of Elections' office to confirm he was registered, where a judge then issued a court order allowing him to cast his vote.

- [on his continued involvement in a music career] Tim: We're going to record a couple of songs, and see how it goes. I'm still feeling my way with being a singer, but then I still feel that way about acting. Every performance is subject to the same challenge to communicate effectively. If you're just doing it for vanity, it's just noise.

- [On if he's looking to direct more films] Tim Robbins: I don't want to do it right now. I don't feel like directing for a while because I want to act. What would happen would be every time I would direct, I'd kind of take myself off the market from acting for two years. And then I'd come back and [be] looking for a job and wonder where it was. I'd have a window of time to do an acting job so my choice was very limited.
