Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.

Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.

I wouldn't want to be ideological about it but I think of it as being the best way to approach this kind of playing. I don't think it works in other music, other kinds of playing.

I've always liked the effect of having somebody in there who hadn't the faintest idea what was going on.

The day after Donald Trump was elected, Chinese business leaders, including the heads of Baidu, stood up and gave a speech saying, 'Come to China and build your company now.' The cognitive dissonance of that was amazing for some of us to think we might be losing our leadership role in building companies.

One thing about me, as far as my career is concerned, is that I'm very confident. I know I'm good.

I've been so fortunate throughout my career, when I was doing theater - more theater than anything else - and when I was doing films, that I got a chance just to do a broad range of things.

At 15 years of age, I left school to practice the profession of Office Boy in a business firm in Salem, Oregon.
