• Todos mis grandes héroes son literatos, escritores. Me encantaría conocer a Jimmy Hendrix o John Coltrane, pero preferiría conocer a Thomas Wolfe, o F. Scott Fitzgerald. Las palabras y los libros siempre han significado mucho para mí. Que alguien pueda tomar palabras y encadenarlas hasta conmoverme es algo increíble. Para mí es asombroso; más asombroso que la música o la pintura. Siempre ha sido la palabra escrita o hablada, como una gran conferencia o una gran letra, o un gran poema. Para mí es increíble. Y siempre aspiro a capturar eso, o mi versión de ello.

• I see my job as trying to entertain you, to be balanced in some way, and morally responsible. I don't want to glorify a killer. I don't want to glorify a rapist. I don't want to do those things, but on the other hand I don't want to lecture to you, either.
