My friend Quincy Jones says we won our first Grammys together in 1963. I have no recollection. I don't even remember the room. When he showed me the picture, I remembered what I wore. But it's like awards don't mean anything.

And remember, this was a president (George W. Bush) who was selected by the Supreme Court rather than the people.

I never sing in the shower either.

I prefer things that are private, so I love recording and I love making films, as a filmmaker, because it uses every bit of what you have experienced or know, whether it's graphics composition, decorating, psychology, storytelling, or whatever it is. It's a wonderful thing.

Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places; it becomes light in dark places.

When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn't pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing.

Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love.
