You can kind of feel when things are going to work out

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

When I was recording from '70 to '82, I always played piano and laid the tracks down. But I used to talk to the other musicians while the track was playing.

The last good time always comes, and when you see the darkness creeping toward you, you hold on to what was bright and good. You hold on for dear life.
