I love Chicago. It is my new favorite city. It is the perfect place to do any kind of theater.

Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean, really, it was half-witted.

We don't always get the kind of work we want, but we always have a choice of whether to do it with good grace or not.

For a long time I wanted to be a comic strip artist but when I started doing them in my teens they were getting really elaborate with tons of poses and a lot of information.

Do you really think the IRA would think me a worthwhile target ?

You know, it comes from my mother's side of the family. She had seven sisters and one brother, and all of them could play instruments. I suppose I picked it up from that.

We have laws against polluting our rivers but not against polluting our minds.

I feel that I have an obligation to jazz and also to myself to play as good as I can play.
