I know people who grow old and bitter. I want to keep making a fresh start. I don't want them to defeat me. That would be suicidal.

There are singers that I have enjoyed, from Nina Simone and Ray Charles onward. But the music that made music the number one thing for me as a youth was jazz.

Anybody who thinks pop music's easy should try to make a pop single and find out that it isn't.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

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