My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

I don't believe in nepotism. I don't much like the idea of parents who interfere.

I love to have a laugh. I like to tease people.

I don't know what acting is, but I enjoy it.

Jonathan Demme is a very sharp editor of his movies.

I couldn't say I ever dreamt of becoming a composer, a pianist, or anything else for that matter. I have the kind of brain where nothing is set in stone.

I've played a lot of parts. But I don't look at my feeling is that this is a job. It's given me a good living.
