There is no way that we know what is going on between the African American and the Asian American. We don't understand what an Indigenous American is. We don't understand what a Latino American is.

Education is the vaccine for violence.

And, granted, for a long time, the European has been dominant in certain parts of this Western Hemisphere, but by the end of the 21st century, it's over.

You get more churches burned down in the United States in the last two years than in the last hundred, because of the lack of understanding of culture and diversity and the beauty of it.

I'm not prepared for holding office any more than I think Arnold is.

I think in Vice and American Me I played very silent, rigid characters and people remember them.

I support the indigenous people anywhere in the planet.

Basically, I think that there are some characters that you can just allow the truth of your character as a human being in your real life to come through.

Education is a vacine for violence.

Our inability to relate to one another is very, very, very important. When we don't have it, we get situations like Bosnia.

Education is the key. But it's the kind of education that we teach that is the key. We don't have it.

The older you get the more you understand what you're doing.

Now I also discipline myself to do things I love to do when I don't want to do them.

And I've been acting for 39 years, so I define characters differently than I did in say Miami Vice.

Right now, the Anglo people are desperately trying to hold on to the United States, like they tried to hold on to Africa.

I don't support violence, period.

You know, Hillary Clinton gives of herself. Princess Diana gave of herself. But they are not saints.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.
