Some people think we're adrift without any guidelines. I don't. I think we've had instruction on how to live.

I've been very fortunate - You only can do what you're offered, you know?

The idea of right and wrong, being righteous, acknowledging when you make a mistake, repentance - all these important things I got from my Catholic background.

If I do a scene with an actor who doesn't have much experience, I say, 'I tell you what we're going to do: You just listen to me, and then you respond. We don't have to do any acting.' And that's good advice because you shouldn't see the acting.

Nothing beats being really honest about who you are and what you need. All the rest just works itself out.

This lie of political correctness is bringing this country down. You just want to break through it all.

Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It's difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it's the greatest gift we have.
