My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years. And when he opened his campaign headquarters back in the early '70s when I was 5 years old my mother wanted me to play the national anthem. And they got an upright piano on the back of a flatbed truck and I played it.
I like the hot-cold the sugar-salt being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.
