I learned a long time ago in Hollywood that the only person I should vote for is myself.

Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett are very good actresses.

At 55 I said the probability is I won't have another relationship. I just didn't want to start another family. Between my own bizarre criteria and taste and the fact that I'm not available for many things I thought it was unlikely. Once you know the science about it, I don't think anybody should consider being committed to a real eternal relationship until you're through something called the infatuation circle.

Once you've been really bad in a movie, there's a certain kind of fearlessness you develop.

I've always had an urge to feed my need to have fun and feel free. I don't see any interesting alternatives.

If I were an Arab-American, I would insist on being profiled. This is not the time for civil rights. There are larger issues for Americans.

Because of the way the business is structured, I have sometimes turned down scripts that I might otherwise have accepted had I known who was directing them.
