I am being approached from all directions to do an opera. Of course Im tempted. A British company want me and now Berlin State Opera too. I want to do one about the French Revolution. I really do love opera. I just dont like the audiences you get for it.

But then, I'm a pretty big fan. I can hardly wait for Dr. Parnassus, and I'm so excited that they're trying again with Lost in La Mancha!
