Look, see, learn, become a citizen of Mankind, not just Hannibal, Missouri. That is the message of [Mark] Twain.

I don't play golf. Mark Twain is golf to me.

One of the problems with putting Huck Finn into a movie or on the stage is, you always make the white people stupid and racist. The point is, they don't know they're racist.

We don't have truth delivered to us very often, especially in this very commercialized world.

Success is no longer content. It's how it sells.

Mark Twain cannot be defined.
