You're a master on blues piano. The real deal.

Well, I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good, everything's cool, and you don't necessarily want to know what's in it. The same thing holds true with movies.

I'm not sure whether Los Angeles borders on the ocean or on oblivion. I always feel that I'm two steps away from the other side when I'm out there. It's more like a vacation place or a place to visit than a place to hunker down.

I think I was afraid of what I might say when I got onto someone's stage or in front of someone's camera.

The reason why things work is because of love.

The great thing about movies is that they're collaborative. And the worst thing is that they're collaborative.

I like New York because you're kind of forced to smell everybody else's funk. So it keeps you biologically attached to the world around you.
