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.

It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

I was about to write that in the future I would chose my words more carefully but I'm sure I won't.

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

It is the least represented among us who will be the most affected first. We have a moral responsibility to protect them.

I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all).

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.
