- [From a 2006 interview in which he discussed his lack of comfort in the aggressive methods often employed to advance an entertainment career]: "I had a naivete about how to deal with people, which I still have. I'd rather not press what I think are personal relationships in a way that people who are professionally driven do not mind doing."
