It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

I had never really wanted to be famous. Everyone is supposed to want to be rich and famous, but as a boy I never knew what rich was, and the first view I had of famous made me leery.

And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.

In 2003, I almost died of an intestinal blockage when I was on a mountain in Chile, filming a segment for 'Scientific American Frontiers.'

I was brought up as a Catholic, and I'm no longer a Catholic. I don't talk about my beliefs too much in public probably because I feel very strongly that it's something personal - more than personal, it's private.

I really don't like plays or movies that service propaganda.

War is war and Hell is hell, and if you ask me, War is a lot worse.
