Anybody can die, everything is fleeting, and you’ve just got to make sure that you catch up on what you can catch up on. I love both puppies and kitties. I could just scrunch up their little faces! I had a brother who died early on – he was 23 when I was 19. And, boy, I certainly didn’t expect that. That was utterly shocking.

Going back to the noir fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It’s very contemporary. Actors don’t necessarily want to be famous or rich or anything else. It’s a very bad gamble if that’s what you’re after. No matter how you travel, it’s still you going.

I love the ocean. Boats, not so much. No. I’m simply saying that life, uh, finds a way. If any movie people are watching this show, please, for me, have some respect. You wanna sell some tickets, act like you know what you’re talking about.

The movie feels to me like a real work of lovely art. People work harder when conditions are worse. I don’t go to these places where there are belly dancers and this and that.

As soon as you’re interested in what is good taste, then you’re in bad taste land already. What’s comfortable and what represents your life, what’s unique and individual about you, that’s style. Anybody can die, everything is fleeting, and you’ve just got to make sure that you catch up on what you can catch up on. I like the idea of being a student, and I play with very good musicians. So playing with them allows me to get better. My aim is to get better, but I really love it for its own sake.
