My goal was always to take a talk show to the network. I never wanted to be on MSNBC.
Everything I hated about L.A. I'm beginning to crave. L.A. is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that.
A lot of people want to not wear a tie when they go to a restaurant. They feel they don't have to wear a tie. I think it's kind of a statement they're making. I don't know what that statement is. I haven't quite figured that out yet.
The harshest thing I can say is I was married to someone for whom all dissent was abuse. If you had your own opinion, you were abusive.
Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.
I wanted to be president of the United States. I really did. The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems.
Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor.
There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time.
Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately.
Down with Dukes of Hazzard!
To be in this business and have tremendous integrity and only make distinguished choices is very tough.
Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.
I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.
When I get onstage in a play, I feel very safe, very protected, very fulfilled.
I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A.
I'm the kind of person who does not want to be anywhere that I'm not wanted.
Getting older is hard.
In the theater, you act more of the time. In the movies, you get to act maybe 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I love acting in movies. It's just different.
I'm a pretty loyal person.
I'm not an awards-driven person in anything. Anytime you do get caught up in that, you usually end up getting whacked.
