"The fact that people are finding him now, a decade later ― almost a decade later ― is a testament to what he was doing. For me, the big...the thing that distinguishes him the most, is that he was about love; he was very interested in love. He had no qualms, no shame with addressing the topic, and the subject of love. And that's...I wouldn't think was brave for him, I think it was something he was led to do ― he had to do ― but, you know, you look around, most of us are trying to be tough guys, and trying to be De Niros, and so on, and so forth, and here was a guy who went the complete opposite direction, in the middle of the '90s. I have a lot of respect for that, 'cause I have this feeling, at the end of the day, you know, when were all said and done, it's all that's gonna matter, isn't it."
