I am a universalist, passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

I am first, and foremost, an actor. That's what I am. To me, a song is a mini-drama. My musical ability informs the actor as well because it gives me a sense of timing that non-musicians don't have. So, one hand washes the other.

I am filled with awe that filmmakers have the capacity to stir us and give us back a sense of wonder.

One might have thought the world would stop ascribing moral equivalence between acts of terrorism and acts of punishing terrorism. It has not happened that way.

Although I am deeply grateful to a great many people, I forgo the temptation of naming them for fear that I might slight any by omission.

Right up to the middle of this century all perceptions of the world around us were delivered via the bookshelf or the paper route.

Every actor wants to direct and produce, but I made a conscious decision when I was in college to understand the 'business' of 'show business.'
