• One of my heroes is Mr. Sidney Poitier. In his autobiography, "The Measure of a Man," he talks about the difference between being a great person and being a great actor. I'm happiest when I'm acting, and I've dedicated my life to it. Still, as much as I love acting, at the end of the day, I want to be remembered as a great person, first, and as a great actor, second. I believe that acting is a talent while being a great person encompasses so much more: being a good father, a good husband and the ability to show compassion for others.

• As a young man, my greatest inspiration was [flamenco singer] Camaron de la Isla, no doubt. That was the best time of my life I would say. I learned so much and matured in this period. Later, my collaboration with Chick Corea, John [McLaughlin] and Al [Di Meola] in the guitar trio was something very special. I was very afraid in the beginning how to play with these fine musicians. But I found my way and I'm sure their playing also changed my music a lot.
