Some people feel that the world owes them a living.

When I did 'Bird,' it was a surprise to some people, first because I wasn't in it and second because most of the films I'd been doing were cop movies or westerns or adventure films, so to be doing one about Charlie Parker, who was a great influence on American music, was a great thrill for me.

There are two kinds of people in this world. 'I' people and 'we' people. I've always tried to be a 'we' person.

I've had moments when I've thought about somebody, picked up the phone to call them and they are on the line already, and I think that maybe there's some vibration, some connection.

I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.

There are some loony people in this world!
