I don't have a grand strategy for my career. I just look for good material, and good stories. I look for good scripts.

I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in '99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He's the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him.

I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.

I'm not really a pitcher; I just play one in the movies.

What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.

I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.

I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.
