I wanted to get that sense of peace and even boredom that comes with long familiarity.

I'm just a movie fan. I used to go to the movies just to watch movies.

The only way you learn is by failure.

A lot of people don't feel like doing very much. Or one project is really all they can do at one time. I can have five or six things going at the same time. It doesn't bother me or tire me, but sometimes it does rattle me.

I'm not a cook and I always stick everything in the freezer and then I leave things out, saying 'if it's good today it will be good tomorrow.'

I still perform live primarily. I just keep traveling and doing live shows. The main difference in film, you know in your mind that you are doing it for posterity, you are doing for the eventual audience and it will be around forever.

I'll be like Irving Berlin: "There's no business like show business."
