My show was REVOLUTIONARY, ground-breaking. When I CAME on the SCENE, PEOPLE were not doing a thing.

Chris Cooper once told me to NEVER have any regrets. After Chris said that to me, I walk into every scene thinking, 'exhaust every POSSIBILITY.' Once you get to a certain place, it's LIKE you just deliver everything you've got. Don't have any regrets. It pops up in my MIND over and over and over again.

I'd have a SEX SCENE with Whoopi Goldberg or STAR Jones.

The running across the field thing, that was the first scene we shot in the MOVIE. We asked the audience to stay for the scene, and 37,000 PEOPLE STAYED.

The AVERAGE Englishman has no IDEA of the dynamism in the MUSIC SCENE here.

When you're AROUND the whole DEAD scene, they're there as a TRIBAL THING; they're there as part of a rendezvous and a pow-wow.

If you had told me when I was starting out that I would be coming down to Nashville, kind of weaving in and out of the COUNTRY scene, I never would've THOUGHT that in a MILLION years.

We only did probably TWO, THREE TAKES on EVERY SCENE we did, at the most.

There are TIMES when I'm driving HOME after a day's shooting, thinking to myself, That scene WOULD've been so much better if I had WRITTEN it out.

Yeah, what happened was UNIVERSAL wanted one of the CHARACTERS to be nice so they CHOSE me so there was a scene where the GIRL was tied to the bed and I let her GO.

I hadn't been a recording ARTIST all that long when albums CAME on the SCENE, and I was one of the first singers to point the WAY to how varied an album's contents could be.

I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to THINK of EVERYTHING that would IMPACT a character in any given scene.
