My career was always full of risks one way or another, and that's the way I like it.

I steer away from episodic TV; it burns you out.

It's not good to meet you heroes. The humanity in them or the a**hole in them will bring it down. And you don't want to do that.

When I go to the movies, I like romance, comedy, and thrillers. I hate gore.

Miles Davis, my one and only real hero of my life. I met him [because] every time I had a movie interview, I would shift the conversation to jazz. Miles, when I finally met him, he knew he had a sucker walking in the door. Because his people told him, “This guy plays the trumpet and every freakin’ interview he has ever given, he’s talked about you.”

If you've got kids you know you've only got one prayer: "Let my kids outlive me." That's the bottom of everything.
