I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I'm blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom.

What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That's the way I always work.

I like the good life too much, I'm not good at going on stage night after night and on wet Wednesday afternoons.

I'm more and more convinced that life is a dream. What has happened to me is surely a dream.

Jonathan Demme is a very sharp editor of his movies.

I was bullied as a boy - lots of kids are, but hopefully most of us get on with our lives and grow up.

I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.
