When you work in front of the people, either in a film or in television, the people who are in the room with you are not watching you work, they're working so you'd have to light a fire to get them to watch what you were doing.

It must be remembered that the Bush White House has a separate talent for character assassination that must not be confused with a talent for governance.

By telling my own story, I hope to help remove the stigma. It never should be something to hide.

In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.

I didn't understand 3-D in the fifties and I can't say I get it now either. I just don't see what the big deal is.

Part of me is still waiting to grow up, to be an adult, and the other part knows there is no such thing.

When you Google me, you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.
