I had to give up martinis - I enjoyed them too much.

Anything that loosens you up and makes you freer is good, because that's what acting and performing is all about - being free. It gives you a better connection to the audience.

In fact, people have been very complimentary about my act and very tolerant of my singing ability.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I always wanted Han Solo's confidence and swagger. My personality is way more C-3PO, but Han was always who I wanted to be.

No one told Miles Davis or BB King to pack it in. John Lee Hooker played literally up to the day he died. Why should pop musicians be any different?
