People come in here and say, 'Why can't we get Jamaican food where we live in Ohio or California?' ... I'd like to make that happen. Even in Paris and Tokyo.

Remember, I come from such an excessively overdone, red-carpet place called Hollywood. So I'm used to people blowing up their success in ways that are far above and beyond the truth.

It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.

Yeah, I turned down 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.' Can you believe it? With 'Alice,' I thought, 'Martin Scorsese. I wonder if he knows what he's doing?' Oh, man, what a mistake! Ellen Burstyn won an Oscar for that role.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
