I've always preferred not to run for public office, and I still do, ... Run, Warren, run!
I'm not sure two movie stars can run - not even here.
I don't want to run for governor, but I don't think anyone should put public service out of the question because that's not what a good citizen does.
To me, it's a misuse of the initiative process, ... It's a clear device to circumvent the Legislature and spend a lot of money on oversimplified descriptions of these propositions and hope that the Trojan horses, (which) each of these are, will deceive a bored and not well-enough-informed public into staying home or vote in a way that is against their own best interest.
I grew up as a fairly puritanical, Protestant, football-playing boy in Virginia. I don't know that I've changed very much.
so I can't say enough positive things about Kazan. I would leave it at that. I love the man.
You have to look inside these Trojan horses and see what is really there. They are deceptively named, and they are not what they appear to be on the outside.
Oh, I guess it's selfishness. I can make a movie when I want to. I don't need to work as a hired actor. I produce, I write, I direct. I guess I like it.
It's something that you never take off the table; that would be sort of a demonstration of poor citizenship. The answer is I don't know and the truth is that I don't want to do it.
The definition of a Schwarzenegger Republican is a Bush Republican who says he's a Schwarzenegger Republican.
When I produce a movie - and I've produced a number of movies, unlike Arnold - yes, I'm frustrated when the union says you can't do this, you can't work past that hour, you've got to break for lunch. But ultimately, they're right. What they do is for everyone's benefit.
For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship.
When I saw Arnold say that he didn't need a union, because people in his position don't need it, I thought, this is a very naive way to present yourself. It's also kinda dumb about making movies. It doesn't realize how the union movement even helps the star.
You're talking about a man that taught me more than anybody else did about how to make movies.
