inspirational hearing
You never really learn much from hearing yourself talk.
cute hurt thinking
Things hurt me now. My knees hurt, my back hurts. But your head still thinks it's twenty-three.
son issues news
I'm the son of a newsman, I grew up around news, so I can understand the issue, which is that papers are losing subscribers and they're getting less and less outlets... it's a tricky thing. You're going to have to sell papers. The problem is, there's so little reporting anymore.
confused progressive bad-word
I'm a liberal. I'm confused when that became a bad word...
country law play
It is rather astonishing that the United States does not play ball with the ICC, considering our country was the beacon of the idea of an international criminal court.
motivational dad aunt
The best advice I got from my aunt, the great singer Rosemary Clooney, and from my dad, who was a game show host and news anchor, was: don't wake up at seventy years old sighing over what you should have tried. Just do it, be willing to fail, and at least you gave it a shot. That's echoed for me all through the last few years.
different enjoy evolve
I enjoy directing. I don't know whether it's improving or not, but it's certainly evolving in different directions.
gay being-gay bad-things
I'm not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing.
marriage church coffins
There's a coffin in the back of the church as the wedding is going on ... Look, I'm a romantic. I like marriage...In the movies.
giving advice lasts
I'm certainly the last person to give advice on, well, anything.
dad thinking light
[On charity] I try to pick subjects that I can learn about and then focus on and then do as much as I can. If you have a tremendous amount of heat from the spotlight, then you're able to shine a little bit more of your light in a different direction. It's just deflecting. My dad calls it a celebrity credit card that you can cash in. I think if you're in this position you should do it.
mean felt
I've been in relationships where I've felt terribly alone. Just because you're with someone, it doesn't mean you're happy.
suicide revenge war
You can't beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people revenge-seeking. These days it only matters who's in charge. Right now that's us - for a while at least. Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks because they have no other way to win. I believe (Rumsfeld) thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can't beat anyone anymore.
thinking scripts firsts
When you start out as an actor, you read a script thinking of it at its best. But that's not usually the case in general, and usually what you have to do is you have to read a script and think of it at its worst. You read it going, "OK, how bad could this be?" first and foremost. You cannot make a good film out of a bad script. You can make a bad film out of a good script, but you can't make a good film out of a bad script.
