Whatever it took to get elected president of the United States, I don't think being a complete and utter moron is one of those predicates.

The press is like a big bass, you just stick a hook in their mouth and they'll take it.

I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure, a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody; so I would say, 'Just come on up.'

The lifeblood of my career has been independent film.

I'm a pretty quiet guy, but if people want to think of me as a lady killer, I guess that's good.

Just curious. Does the president of the United States have any advice for other teenage boys in America? Wounded warriors, for example . . .

The whole world has gone back to something we are genetically engineered to do - communicating through symbols.
