Especially when you're working so closely with people and you have to develop intense relationships, it's great when you have a relationship and a rapport with them.

I've always said from starting off, 'I don't mind if I'm in a big budget film or a huge play or something small in London playing for 50 people, as long as I'm doing what I love doing for a living.'

I think it really makes a difference when you know the people that you're working with, when you develop a relationship.

I have a great relationship with the Mexican people.

Instruments sound interesting, not because of their sound, but because of the relationship a player has with them. Instrumentalists build a rapport with their instruments, which is what you like and respond to.

I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as a occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cows disease.
