Personal Quote:

I don't want to do just "Hello, goodbye," only for very, very good directors like Jonathan Demme, who asked me to sing this tango in his film The Truth About Charlie. If not, I really take my choices, because I'm too old to say yes to everything, and also, I've done too many good things to go do whatever now. See more »
