I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere.

I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.

I'm the star of the show. I should have a decent haircut.

I once got a letter from a woman who told me she was 90. She said if she were 30 years younger, I would have had to watch out. I guess 60 seems really young when you're 90. She said she would eat me with a spoon.

But I do enjoy the freedom of doing a movie and then having some time off.

I remember on 'JAG,' Joe Jackson punched Stephen Culp and shattered his nose.

I've never made choices based on money - I always trust my gut.

Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face.

My father was both the person who gave me reason to learn how to fight and the one who taught me the basics of fighting. He would tell me that if it was a big fight, it would probably be uneven, it wouldn't be fair.

The arts are very alive in Ireland, so that had its influence on me. But I consider myself European, really.

Human relationships always help us to carry on because they always presuppose further developments, a future - and also because we live as if our only task was precisely to have relationships with other people

Just watching TV as a kid, for a long time I thought, as a young kid, obviously when I was, like, 4 or 5, I thought that people lived in the television.

In my other books, things do happen, but they are kind of bookends to the real action, which for me was an exploration of consciousness. Not that I don't get into the consciousness of the people in 'The Surrendered,' but you could say there's not as much anxiety about it.

It is manifest that the only security against the tyranny of the government lies in forcible resistance to the execution of the injustice; because the injustice will certainly be executed, unless it be forcibly resisted.

Gas is by far and away the most important element of our energy policy.

And let me make this very clear - unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class. As president, I will protect the sanctity of life. I will honor the institution of marriage. And I will guarantee America's first liberty: the freedom of religion.

The idea of copyright did not exist in ancient times when authors frequently copied other authors at length in works of non fiction. This practice was useful and is the only way many authors works have survived even in part.

It's very passe to think women want to spend a fortune on clothes.

The reason that everybody likes planning is that nobody has to do anything.

Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me.

Putting people before profits is how we've tried to operate from the beginning.
