To know that once you decide to look at life outside of the narrow limits of just your world and start to understand that you can make a difference in very simple ways - in volunteering and all the way up to bigger world problems.

Children reinvent your world for you.

When you run into someone in NY it is usually a pleasant surprise. When you run into someone in LA you usually had a car accident.

This is an amazing country, for all of its faults. My feeling is, dig in and let's try to change the world. Dissent is not only your right, it's your duty.

I think looking at your own life, on- and offscreen, you can motivate anything, or you can delude yourself into anything.

At the end of your life, you are going to want to know that you made some kind of difference.

If you always have to be watching yourself and judging, I don't think you're as free.
