It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

I'm not someone who can lie on a beach and do nothing. I am not sure what you are supposed to do, so I get bored. I prefer to have a purpose, such as going to Alaska to see orca whales.

If somebody says, "Oh, we're going to improvise!," I'm like, Oh, get me out of here.

I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.

If I don't believe in a role, I can't pull it off.

You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.

If you only took on roles that had the same qualities, then I suppose it might make a critic feel better, if he can see some kind of bedrock. Perhaps that's the old definition of a star, someone who's always going to come up with the same goods. But it intimates limitation to me and I don't want to think of the job like that.
