I'm not an actor who can constantly pick and choose, I try to get the best of what's there.

Actors are very generous.

I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.

I've always just adored music. It's my first love, really. I admire and respect people in the music business. You really have to work hard and diligently. Sometimes actors can be lazy and get away with it, but you can't do that if you're a musician.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.

I'm mostly a jazz fan and I've never really been into rock 'n' roll music — although I guess Coldplay isn't really rock 'n' roll — but he's made me a convert. I do go to their concerts whenever we're in the same town and I don't even have to wear earplugs any more, which I did in the beginning.
