I'm not just an actor born in L.A. I was born in the Griffith Park Hospital. You can't get any more clichéd than that.

Warren Beatty once told me that if someone's really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that.

I saw the horizon. It's out there. And though I may not ever be able to touch it, it's worth reaching for.

It was very serious and I wanted to do something really different so there was this comedy called TOP SECRET.

If you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want... well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

My only challenge is to entertain. And I accomplish my task better when I myself am entertained by what I am doing. I am very critical of myself, I constantly set the bar higher and higher. I try to surpass myself. That`s all. But I also know how to preserve myself, to not let myself get bedazzled by the smoke and mirrors.

Mark Twain was an artist working at the highest level. He wrote a book, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, that put America on the world stage for literature. It's almost as if, if you start reading that book as a racist, you cannot finish it and still be a racist.
