Satire is meant to have teeth; satire is meant to be dangerous. But it also happens to be fun because subversion and telling the right kind of people to go to hell is supposed to feel good.

I read Noam Chomsky. I like some of Gore Vidal's stuff.

I just love the process of working with other actors.

Of course, I think it is legitimate for the Commander-in-Chief to be concerned for the safety of his soldiers.

But, you know, I'm sorry, I think democracy requires participation. I mean, I don't want to proselytize but I do feel some sort of duty to participate in the process in some way other than just blindly getting behind a political party.

You can only really judge yourself in comparison to other people. How bad you are, but you're not as bad as someone else. So it's degrees of losing.

I think any actor can probably identify with being a professional liar. You don't always look at yourself that way, but I know a lot of days I do.
