Both my husband and I give a lot of ourselves in what we do because that is our public lives; but in my private life, I have an intrinsic right to be left alone.

I think that we give the impression, to carry on your metaphor, that we go a little faster than we actually do. I’m fairly lazy so I’m always interested in slowing down.

I’ve always been crazy for the American songbook.

I’ve been devoted to Alison Krauss for many, many years.

When I accept a role, I feel that as an artist I have to submit completely to the tutelage of my director. And while I expect to be heard and encouraged and honored, at the end of the day, man, it’s the way the director wants it.

Yeah, I’ve had the privilege to know a lot of really talented people.
