Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.

I think that people like the Howard Sterns, the Bill O'Reillys and to a lesser degree the bin Ladens of the world are making a horrible contribution.

I don't have any particular excitement about working with any specific director or actor at this point.

That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.

I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.

I don't believe there are climate skeptics. I think there are people who indulge in a culture of what can be reduced to Fox network thinking. That has nothing to do with the politics that apply to the protection of quality of life in any sense. It's like talking to a member of a cult.
