I've felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father's family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father.

Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.

I don't mind being a commodity. It's given me a good life.

I was hell bent on destruction... it was like being possessed by a demon.

I worked with Steven Spielberg on Amistad... he seemed so very secure in himself that he let me do things.

I just learn my lines, go on set. Do my preparation, whatever that is. Have a cup of coffee. Say hello to everyone. And be friendly. "Action" - and then do it.

I'm composing and writing music.
