I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.
As we say in the sewer, if you're not prepared to go all the way, don't put your boots on in the first place.
When the tides of life turn against you And the current upsets your boat, Don't waste those tears on what might have been, Just lie on your back and float.
Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige, my friend.
It must be good to be in Germany and France, because I have completely forgotten what it is like to be proud of your government.
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
It's ginned up by the corporate plutocracy as a way of distracting the working-class people that it's screwing. We hamstring our own natural progressivism in this country, and that's really stupid.
I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
Fame is very corrosive and you have to guard very strictly against it.

Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
I don't flatter myself - I'm not a scientist, I'm not a conservation expert.
I don't get much out of doing a red carpet.
