Horns always influenced me more than voices.

I don't think I ever modeled myself after a singer. I've more or less copied the styles of horn-tooters right from the start.

The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.

Why do gentlemen's voices carry so clearly, when women's are so easily stifled?

I have always been more comfortable with daredevil acts than with the everyday nuances of life. Let me jump out of a plane, speak in front of a roomful of strangers, even trek across Siberia.

I was just going more for what I've always been influenced by, European music.
