Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately I was so homesick I couldn't appreciate its beauty.

Chicago is known for good steaks expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics violent crime and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country.

I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.

I've been very fortunate to be able to jump around. I just did this really wonderful film called Map of the World. That was a real amazing dramatic story. Then I did a movie called Company Men a little comedy about the Bay of Pigs.
