Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.

Listen there are some movies that are set in stone and the writer or the director does not want to change but I've never worked on a movie including my own that didn't take advantage of a rehearsal process.

I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies the less I rehearse the better I am.

You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.

It's a privilege to serve the poor to be servants of noble Africans but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play you have all day.

I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears so joined that they cannot be separated often moving in opposite directions yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.

Yes it is a rehearsed show yes it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre where everything has to be in place and whole things everything being works all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.

Leadership can't be fabricated. If it is fabricated and rehearsed you can't fool the guys in the locker room. So when you talk about leadership it comes with performance. Leadership comes with consistency.
