Singing songs like 'The Man I Love' or 'Porgy' is no more work than sitting down and eating Chinese roast duck, and I love roast duck. ↗

I love stories. When I'm writing, what I pretend subconsciously is that we're cavemen, we're sitting around the fire, and I'm telling you stories. If I bore you, you're probably going to pick up a big club and hit me over the head. ↗

The early influences, in many ways, were in Baltimore. I was passing open windows where there might be a radio playing something funky. In the summertime, sometimes there'd be a man sitting on a step, playing an acoustic guitar, playing some kind of folk blues. The seed had been planted. ↗

At its core, 90 percent of my job is still sitting down in a room full of people, and breaking stories... and that requires virtually no technology. ↗

It's good to be busy on a film set because there is a lot of sitting around, so if you've got two roles to play at one time, then that's great to do. ↗
