“I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.”
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
“You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you dont have your health, you have nothing.”
“No matter what we talk about, we are talking about ourselves”
“You have to be selfish to be an actor.”
“Under the sacred and compelling trust we have as members of the Church of Jesus Christ, ours is a work of redemption, of lifting and saving those who need help. Ours is a task of raising the sights of those of our people who fail to realize the great potential that lies within them.”
“I surrender to it, and by surrendering, I control it.”
“I'm so honored to be on this recording with Ann & Nancy Wilson. They are iconic and I've truly been one of their biggest fans since I was a kid. And what a perfect song to sing with them, since I adore Vince Gill and have been very proud for his commitment to his own musical vision. When we were recording at Nancy's house, and even though I'm friends with those girls now, I had to keep 'pinching' myself and marvel at how blessed my life is! It was a very PROUD moment for me.”
