Jared Leto on juggling acting with singing: 'Creativity all comes from the same place'

30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto has opened up about juggling a career as a Hollywood actor and as a singer in a band and admitted that it's not hard because creativity and artistry comes from the same place. 

Speaking to Faster Louder about his varied professional life, the heartthrob explained that he just loves to be creative so will always take on as many projects as he can handle:

"You could stick me in front of a pile of rubbish, and I'll make something out of it. It all comes from the same place, I'm a creative person, I find creative solutions to problems, and the difference is process."

"The process of making music is very intimate, because at least for me, and Thirty Seconds To Mars, I write the songs, my brother [Shannon] plays the drums, and we have so much responsibility from the music to the production to the videos to the design to the marketing to the tours and the production of the tours... everything."

In Leto's latest film, 'Dallas Buyers Club', he plays a transgender AIDS victim named Rayon and is up for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
