I worked in a Chinese restaurant.

Marlon Brando. The finest actor who ever lived. He was my idol when I was 13. He's done enough work to last two lifetimes. Everything I do, I think: Can Brando play this with me?

progress, whatever your definition of it, is not inevitable.

The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough.

I want the best product for my audience, and if I don't care 100%, who will? It's my name, my likeness that goes out there.

I remember when I was 5 living on Pulaski Street in Brooklyn, the hallway of our building had a brass banister and a great sound, a great echo system. I used to sing in the hallway.

Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.
