I worked very hard on those movies but there was some creative connection that wasn't being made.

I definitely believe in a higher power.

People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership, they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership. They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.

Disease is a non-partisan problems that requires a non-partisan solution.

They did something once that slurred my speech, and I thought, "Oh, man, you're messing with my brain. It's freaking me out."

I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.

After all that I'd been through, after all that I'd learned and all that I'd been given, I was going to do what I had been doing every day for the last few years now: just show up and do teh best that I could do with whatever lay in front of me.
