I'm in the movie business; it's meant to be very cutthroat. But you won't find anybody that ever says I cheated them or manipulated them.

Men dominate because of physicality, and thus they have mercy where women do not.

Believe it or not, I supported Richard Nixon on the issue of presidential privilege. How could anyone conceive of being the president of the United States and think that every single thing that you say or do can become a part of the public record? It just seems so stupid to me.

I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.

I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.

I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.

If you get an impulse in a scene, no matter how wrong it seems, follow the impulse. It might be something and if it ain't - take two!
