I don't know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfillment of personal fantasies. It isn't just art, its about being a person I've always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero.

To teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country... if we don't, someone else will run our country.

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.

The bad guy always gets the best scene and the best lines in the film, and they usually get the most days off.

If I wasn't an actor, I'd be a teacher, a history teacher. After all, teaching is very much like performing. A teacher is an actor, in a way. It takes a great deal to get, and hold, a class.

My worst fear is that I'll end up living in some run-down duplex on Wilshire wearing pants hiked up to my nipples and muttering under my breath.

There is one solution to all of our problems: Teaching our kids clarity of thought and political representation in democracy. That's it.
