I like to spread myself out. Since I was a kid, I always recognized some void.

As an actor, it's fun to play guys who aren't just locked into a male pattern, but a lot of guys you're asked to play are fairly macho and have a certain rigid standard they're living by.

I doing casual labor by the day. They wouldn't pay you until the next morning. There was a bar that would cash your check if you bought a beer first. A lot of guys never left until they'd drunk up all their money.

It's a major part of world history that men are trying to kill each other. It's just one slaughter after the other. We talk about it, but no one's really listening.

I was just talking about women, just in terms of understanding them as much as we can ever understand the opposite sex. I'm trying to let go of certain male approaches to things that you inherit, that you grow up with.

My career has been a bit strange. I don't think it took the normal route.

Trying different things is very important to me. I see people and want to wear their clothes and drive in their cars for awhile. That's probably one reason I became an actor.

I like to spread myself out. Since I was a kid, I always recognized some void.

If some woman tells me how she feels about something, my immediate assumption is that she wants an answer, or that she wants me to solve her problem. In fact, all she wants to do is share, or show how she feels.

It's like a prehistoric reflex, you know, going out and getting the meat and bringing it back to the cave. You feel you're supposed to make it better, but more than likely she's asking you to tell her how you feel.

There was always a creative impulse in me but I never felt rooted to anything.

I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.

In this play we're dealing with relative truths - who's lying, who's telling the truth. But underneath that, Ed and I have hit this deeper level of intimacy between old friends that comes out in the play.

When you're a father, you know exactly where your heart really is. There's no question of it, no doubt. That part of your life has no second guessing.

In the beginning Remo is a very New York street cop who changes and is changed as he moves along.

I mention I'm going home, and I'm a star immediately! This used to happen with my boyfriends - as soon as I'd say, 'I gotta go home now,' they fell in love.

There's no other job in public life that is like chairman of the Fed.

Don't believe those who claim that only left wing parties really care about employment.

Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

Interviews make me so nervous - I can't get a sentence out of my mouth.

I think anything that anyone writes that's any good is going to have a lot of autobiography.

I think nudity is funny, especially when it's inappropriate.

Sometimes groups and their material can get overbloated.

What would our world be like if we ceased to worry about right and wrong or good and evil and simply acted so as to maximize well being our own and that of others Would we lose anything important

I would never cancel a tour unless I had real reasons and personal things that require my undivided attention.

I'm from the burbs. I've been in the hood, but I don't live there. I have lived in the hood, but I don't live there anymore. I lived in Harlem, and that was crazy, even though Harlem is a lot nicer than it used to be.

It takes a certain amount of courage to tackle very hard problems in science, I now realise. You don't know what the timescale of your work will be: decades or only a few years.

When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.

I care about family issues.

I love the national anthem.

I am already inherently full and complete as I am. Man doesn't need woman and woman doesn't need man in order to experience his or her inherent fullness.

I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I'm the most happy fellow that I know.

I don't consider myself a fashion designer.

I think the New Aesthetic is a series of observations. I think most of the trouble people have had with it comes from a misunderstanding of it as a movement.

I am the same person I was before receiving the Nobel Prize. I work with the same regularity, I have not modified my habits, I have the same friends.

You're not a historian, but most historians will tell you that they make very discrete judgment as to what facts to omit in order to make their book into some shape, some length that can be managed.

Now, in this U.N. stuff, the commander, although he has troops, they don't really belong to him. They're loaned by the country to the U.N. to be used, but each of these countries provide a contingent commander, a senior guy who communicates directly back to his capital.

That is what I define as a novel: something that has a beginning, a middle and an end, with characters and a plot that sustain interest from the first sentence to the last. But that is not what I do at all.

I'm really into the human interest thing. I really like regular people.
