Michael Jackson doesn't really belong on this planet. He's the most important figure in the history of music. He'll be remembered far longer than George Bush will. 200 years from now, people will be talking about Michael Jackson, and no one's going to mention George Bush.

Listening is harder than just acting. Listening is the hardest part.

I've watched 'Being There' over 50 times, and every time I watch it, I love every frame. I just wish I had directed it myself.

Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world. Music and movies. That's what's exciting about what we do, the fact that it's so global. It brings people together. People don't have to understand the language to laugh at actors. They're going to laugh even though they don't understand what they're saying. Cause they're seeing it.

I love 'Guitar Hero,' and I think it's a part of pop culture.
