At my age, I don't think anyone is untouched by cancer.

This self-congratulatory notion Americans have that their country is Number One is borne of ignorance and bad manners.

My personal feeling, if I can interject a political note, is that I don't think it is right that basic health care is a privilege. It shouldn't be. It should be a right of all human beings. And certainly in the richest country in the world.

I want to be done, and actually, go "I had a good run. No regrets. I'm ready to step aside."

The only thing that we as actors really can control is to be able to say 'yes' or 'no' to the material.

I have a bad habit of inserting my ideas into shots and things. I don't know, I don't hold back on suggesting things, but I don't have any connection to what actually happens, so I'll make a suggestion on something and then just let it go.

Hollywood has known this for quite a while: Cable is the place to go because they truly have a supportive network and they want to do things that cannot be seen on broadcast. That stimulates the writer-producer. Cable is king.
