If you want to slice into America, it's pretty red, white, and blue in terms of how it goes about things, but there's a gray area there, and I've always been interested in where things are complicated.

Let's get something straight - I don't see myself as beautiful.

I've always wanted to try new things because it's exciting and it keeps you active and alive.

Sometimes the failures can be exciting and fun. It's just a step on the road, it's not the end of something.

When I was a kid, nobody told me I was good-looking. I wish they had. I would've had a better time.

In 1973, I was shown a graphic of how dependent the United States was on nonrenewable resources like oil and coal and that little was being done to change that. It seemed irrefutable that we needed a change in direction or we'd be paying a huge price down the road. That's when I made a commitment to become a political activist.

The big moment for me was making 'All the President's Men'. It was not about Watergate or President Nixon. I wanted to focus on something I thought not many people knew about: How do journalists get the story?
