Things that I grew up with stay with me. You start a certain way, and then you spend your whole life trying to find a certain simplicity that you had. It's less about staying in childhood than keeping a certain spirit of seeing things in a different way.

You meet lots of people in your life, and sometimes you think that people are a certain way, and then they reveal themselves to be a different way.

People say I am stuck in childhood, but it's not that. I remember seeing a Matisse retrospective, and you could see he started out one way, and then he tried something different, and then he seemed to spend his whole life trying to get back to the first thing.

The older you get, the more you are aware that everybody has a certain way of seeing things, which they have to honour.

Teaching's hard! You need different skills: positive reinforcement, keeping students from getting bored, commanding their attention in a certain way.

It's not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It's a lifestyle - like a suaveness or a swag, per se.
