I'm always fascinated with how a person becomes a good quality person, a productive person, and how it happened to me, because I was a terror.

Right now, I have to admit, that I'm more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

The F.B.I. is about nuts and bolts. It's all about witnesses and procedure and walking the streets.

If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

I mean, the problem is, I think I'm a great writer.
