I've got an age that I do think of myself.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.

It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.

I always want my options to be open.

My main thing is not eating processed food.

New York is tough on lonely people.

In cold weather a good rule is to light your fire first before doing anything else. It is always more sensible to keep yourself warm rather than trying to thaw yourself out later.

Sometimes it's easier to show than it is to tell

Play slow and perfect - that’s the way to becoming a virtuoso.
