I'm very fortunate in the sense that outside of cohabitating relationships and so forth, I've always got on just as well with women.

I don't remember if I've been asked seriously to direct a picture. I understand that. I'm very good business for people as an actor and perhaps they'd rather I didn't.

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?

Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.

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.

The way I reacted to 9/11 was I decided I didn't want to do any movies that are sad or critical. I decided I didn't want to make my living depressing people or making them go home sick, so I just decided I wanted to do comedy for a while and study it for a while. It doesn't mean everybody should do that, but that was my reaction.

Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.
