I think the enemy is self-censorship. In a free society the biggest danger is that you're afraid to the point where you censor yourself.

The general public has long been divided into two parts those who think science can do anything and those who are afraid it will.

Two or three notes of music can instantly make you feel sad or tense or afraid or angry. To do that in words is much more difficult.

If I was sad or afraid I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions.

When I was younger many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.

I don't wilt easily and a director can't either. He's the captain of the ship and he's got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he's working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life I'm very comfortable there. And I'm not afraid.

My father used to tell me about how musicians don't have respect from people and he was afraid about my future.

You can't respect yourself if you're afraid to be who you are.
