Teaching is a sacred profession. And art is a form of teaching.

I took piano lessons when I was 6. I didn't want to go on with it. I don't remember being moved by a piece of music.

No one has ever known me as clearly as you. No one has ever shown me that love allows everything. Not pretty or safe or easy but something I never knew. Love within reason, that isn't love and I learned that from you.

I've always liked puzzles, since I was a kid. I like party games, silly games. I loved chess. I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, but I'm not particularly visual.

They wanted me to be a concert pianist, because I had a very good right hand, but my left hand's terrible and I hated performing.

A close-up on screen can say all a song can.

I don't like the word 'career'. When somebody says to me, 'oh, you've had such a wonderful career', I think, 'career - that's after you're dead.' I just don't think that way.
