I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.

I think when Sarah Palin opened her mouth and started talking, the more she talked, the less appealing she became.

I thought a great line in the What Just Happened movie said, "We're just the mayonnaise."

You don't always have to have the ending, but you want to have a satisfactory conclusion.

It's such a funny thing. Hollywood is terrible unless you happen to be a celebrity who's a Republican. So Ronald Reagan can be a Hollywood celebrity, and he's a Republican, and then he can become the president, and that's okay. Fred Thomson, well, that's okay. But the rest we need to demonize. There's no consistency.

There was a time when I said, "I'm going to go do a television thing," after doing all these theatrical films, and heard, "Television? Why are you going to go back to television?" It's an interesting place.

There's no downside to having too much experience.
