Jazz, isn't that just a series of mistakes diguised as musical composition?

The process depends on the situation, and I don't think there are any two songs that have gone exactly the same way... well, actually, that's not true.

I never regret anything and I don't believe in regret. I think it's just a big time-waster.

As an actor, you have to be able to take all sides as well. You have to at least be able to understand things. No bad guy looks in the mirror every morning and says, boy, I'm gonna be a real bad guy this morning. He goes after his own what he's after, just like us good guys. You kind of have to take a stand and, a lot of times, you have to take the writer's stand or the stand of the character this writer has created.

I think you have everyone kind of pulling on the same end of the rope. It's not like you're Robin Williams and everyone else is a deaf mute. It's like - there's plenty of help.

Even when there are banalities, they're usually kind of benign banalities.

It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.
