"Not every great artist is a great performer. But whether he’s playing, among many others, the pleading hooker sending a Christmas Card on Blue Valentine, or the weak-willed limo driver in Robert Altman’s Short Cuts; or simply “Tom Waits”, the supremely entertaining talk show guest or arcane trivia-laden interviewee who rarely lets anything truly personal slip, Tom Waits has never lost that feel for either. His performances, on film and in music, are a key part of his art." -
