I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye. But I can't look into the eyes of everyone who wants to look into mine; I can't emotionally cope with that kind of volume. Sunglasses are part of my armor.

The blues and jazz will live forever... So will the Delta and the Big Easy.

Always try in interviews to avoid the cliches about the problems of public life.

I'm a New Wave baby, so I got very stimulated by foreign film.

I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.

Financially, I've lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.

No issue is more compelling than the air we breathe, be it hot or cold, be it hawk or human.
