Because I don't take money, I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.

I am not a long-run actor. I admire actors who can do that.

I had a meeting in LA in which they took a really overstuffed hour and a half. It was as close to old Hollywood as I remembered it in the last 20 years.

I'd forgotten I'd done the anime called Spirited Away, the English version of a Japanese film.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

We lament the speed of our society and the lack of depth and the nature of disposable information.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.
