I don't think you should go into politics until you can stand on your own two feet economically, if possible, and you know enough about the world.

I would never ever talk about my own personal life in an interview.

It only takes around 60 seconds to cast your vote in the polling station. 60 seconds to protect the economy, 60 seconds to protect your jobs, 60 seconds to protect the services your family relies on. A lot is at stake during those 60 seconds.

Many areas of Los Angeles have gang problems.

I didn't even watch the soaps when I was in them because it's like a coal miner coming home and staring at the coal scuttle - I was never a great lover of watching myself act.

If I have a weakness, it's for timepieces - if I see one I like and can afford it, I'll buy it.

When I was an actor, I was part of a team, which I loved. You are a part inside something which is larger.
