Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.

People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.

But most scripts are terrible. Most projects are bad, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm not really attracted to those.

I've been doing this since I was 10 years old, inhabiting different people and playing different roles.

I think that it's much more important to do than to say. And you learn that a lot from your kids, who are watching you, you know?

Now is a good time, 10 years ago would have been a good time, and 10 years from now it will still be a good time to see a dynamic, entertaining movie that's wall-to-wall Miles Davis where the music will hopefully spark some desire to know more about the man.

I understand what's it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something.
