I think that in today's world the right to privacy and freedom of the press are set on a collision course.
Whether you're a presidential front-runner, or an Academy Award-winning actor, or head of a TV ministry, if you stay in the public eye long enough they're going to try and find a scandal.
Anyone who's lived their life to the fullest extent has a scandal buried somewhere.
Anybody who doesn't have a scandal I have no interest in meeting because they haven't lived their lives.
You show me someone who's led a perfect life and I'll show you a dullard.
What kind of person would run for president of the United States in today's political climate? It would have to be somebody who's never really been drunk in public, who's never had an affair, who never shoplifted when they were a little boy, who never had any sort of counseling at all. I just don't know how you go through your life meeting people, experiencing everything you can, trying to absorb, and not make some of those mistakes. It's impossible.
I can't help but be a little more gun-shy and wary about people.
Conventions are, by nature, a party. I mean, that's why people become delegates. They come from all over the world to exercise their democratic rights and to party.
I don't like to let my celebrity interfere with me living my life. I like to meet people, I like to talk to people.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't go out very much. When I do go out, a lot of times it'll be to something like a heavyweight fight, and I'll be photographed, so that people have this conception that I go out a lot.
When I'm angry I'm an incredibly tough person, because I don't get angry easily.
When people consent to do something, they should be able to do whatever they want.
People should be allowed to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own home or their own hotel room.
I meet so many people. I want to be genuine and open with everyone, because when I was young and just starting out, I remember I was around people who were successful, and I thought that some were kind of cool or off-putting to their fans. It always really bothered me. So I think I may sometimes go too far out of my way.
