Its interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.

The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won't admit he played badly.

For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.

You've got to trust the ground you're standing on and the work you've done in telling your story. The goal should be to bring those thousands of people - viewers - together and make them one. When you feel that happening, it's usually in silence, not applause or laughter.

I'm supposed to convince you, for two hours, that I'm somebody else. Now if you know everything about my life, if you think you've got me figured out and you think you know all my dark secrets, how am I ever going to convince you that I'm somebody else?

If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.

The greatest sound in the theater is silence.
