The country has come a long way in race relations, but the pendulum swings so far back. Everyone wants to be so sensitive.
Michael Moore and I actually have a lot in common. We both appreciate living in a country where there's free expression. But Michael, if you ever show up at my front door with a camera, I'll kill you. I mean it.
Abuse of power isn't limited to 'bad guys' in other nations. It happens in our own country. Those in power get jaded, deluded, and seduced by power itself. I have a reverence for individuality. I've always considered myself too individualistic to be either right-wing or left-wing. I like the libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone. People should be able to be what they want to be and do what they want - as long as they're not harming other people. I am a libertarian.
Abuse of power isn't limited to bad guys in other nations. It happens in our own country if we're not vigilant.
I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we - we own this country. We - we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.
You, me...we own this country. Politicians are employees of ours....And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.
Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that's what everybody needs to know.
I know what you're thinking, punk. He just threw three straight split-fingered fastballs at the knees. Does he have any left? Well, to tell you the truth in all the excitement, I kind of lost track myself...
I'm not really a Hollywood person. Not that I don't like L.A., but I'm just a Northern California guy.
I want the troops from Great Britain and the U.S. to be successful, but by the same token, Afghanistan has always been a screw-up.
The U.S. military was segregated 'til the Korean War, and the blacks in World War Two were totally segregated.
This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
I'd like to be a bigger and more knowledgeable person 10 years from now than I am today. I think that, for all of us, as we grow older, we must discipline ourselves to continue expanding, broadening, learning, keeping our minds active and open.
I never look back and think too much about my films. I've done some work I've been proud of over the years but which of them is my favourite I really don't know. I could say the last one. I've had little jumps in my career like Unforgiven possibly.
