There Has Been A Lot

My Movies Are Always Being Played On Television, I'm Very Well Known And All That Stuff - I Go All Over The World, I Have Access To Many Things, Many People, Many Places And It's Wonderful. But Now I'm At A Point Where...i Thought It Was Time To Show Some Of It, To Show Some Of My Feelings About Things And What I Preferred At The Time. I Prefer Them Still But Not To The Extent I Did At The Time.

The Thing Is Doing It, That's What It's All About. Not In The Results Of It. After All What Is A Risk? It's A Risk Not To Take Risks. Otherwise, You Can Go Stale And Repeat Yourself.

Failure's Relative. I've Always Felt, Even Early On, If I Lose The Freedom To Fail, Something's Not Right About That. It's How You Treat Failure, Too. There's Something To Learn From It. I've Had Movies That Have Failed Colossally, So You Kind Of Analyze Your Failures: What Kind Of Failure Was It? A Failure Because It's Misunderstood By Others? A Failure Because You Misunderstood It Yourself?

Women Have Always Had Equal Importance Onstage, And Working With Them Must Have Altered My Sensibilities. I've Never Felt Sensitive To The Whole Issue, Because Being Macho Has Never Been A Problem With Me.

Jamie Foxx Does A Good Rendition Of Me. It's A Real Gift, Mimicry Of That Kind, The Tonal Thing. It's Sort Of Like Having A Talent For Playing An Instrument.
