Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.

I'm not a morning person: I can't function until I've had a coffee - or several.
