“Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can’t.”

I’ve never been particularly ambitious. I’m driven by the moment.

I do trust women. I have a lot of women in my life. I have a mother. I have a woman. There’s a lot of women around me. And I do trust them. And they trust me, as far as I know.

Just keep moving forward, and don’t give a shit about what anyone thinks. Do what you have to do, for you.

I’m normal, well, semi-normal.

Love is one of the hardest words to say and one of the easiest to hear.

I’m an old-fashioned guy. I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.

Trips to the dentist-I like to postpone that kind of thing.

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

One day the people that didn’t believe in you will tell everyone how they met you.

It’s awful bad luck to bring a woman aboard the ship. It’s awful worse luck not to.

Keep moving forward and do what you have to do for you.

Once you get on the ship, everything is fine. Once you get on land, everything is not so fine.

If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.

Attention is a strange sort of being, anyway, the idea of attention if someone appreciates your work. It’s always nice that someone appreciates your work.

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it’s going to work or whether I’m going to fall flat on my face.

Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible. I believe you can retain certain things from your childhood if you protect them – certain traits, certain places where you don’t let the world go.

Coronavirus leaves everyone feeling uncertain, anxious and emotional.

All learning has an emotional base.

Love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things.

The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning.

You were born where you were born and faced the future that you faced because you were black and for no other reason.

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am human.

I’m no good at goodbyes.
