It’s not about what someone can do for you, it’s who and what the two of you become in each other’s presence.

O viajante global vive num mundo mais pequeno que o camponês. Respira em todo o lado um ar local. Londres é um local que se pode comparar a Chicago, Chicago é um local que se pode comparar a Tombuctu. Mas Tombuctu não é um lugar, pelo menos para os que lá vivem e que a vêem como o universo, e que lá respiram, não um ar local, mas os ventos do mundo.

Na última vez que a vi, perguntei-me se teria sido a última vez que a veria. Hoje perguntei-me o mesmo.
The director, Michael Mann, said: “Your character has scenes with Al Pacino, but if Al doesn’t like you, you can’t be in the movie. So we’re going to have lunch to see if he likes you.” I’m like: “Uh? When?” He goes: “We’re leaving now.” We walked out with my jaw on the floor and went to some high-class Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills.
Al’s like: “Call me Al.” At the end of the lunch, he goes: “Michael, I like him.” Every day on set, I’d go: “How are you, sir?” Al would put his hand on my shoulder, say: “Henry, not so good,” and tell me in great detail about how he’d pulled a muscle in his arm. He was hilarious to be around. There’s one scene where I’m handcuffed, so Al would sit on a couch and keep me company while I was being unlocked: “Someone give me a magic marker. I’m gonna draw a moustache on Henry.”
