I'm very privileged to be the celebrity I am.

When I got political that blew our marriage out of the water. I was not the same person and I admit that.

Anything well written with good language and clarity and honesty is worth doing. It comes out of the same tradition as Shakespeare.

I'm very privileged to be the celebrity I am.

I've had the most wonderful life.

Life is best when you are in love.

I've become so earthy. And I never was earthy. I'm doing all kinds of different roles which are not at all like the intellectual and the legal mind of Ben Stone.

I was born first to music. But I went into acting because my father knew so much about music he intimidated me. So, I picked an art form, he knew nothing about. So I could be my own man.

If they want to talk about aliens and anything like that... that's part of the gift God gave us. That's what makes life exciting. We're pretty stuck, you know. What gives flight to our life is our imagination.

As long as I'm an hour away from a major airport, I can get to that job.

Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.

Film is something that came later into my life. I had a Jesuit education, and I consider acting and the theater as kind of a calling - a vocation.

I consider myself a kind of a one-man government-in-exile. I don't want to call it a government - let's call it one man's idea of American freedom in exile.

I had a Jesuit education, and I consider acting and the theater as kind of a calling - a vocation.

I hate going to L.A. and dealing with the contempt people have for television and television actors. It's unbelievable the kind of attitude people take toward what is the most exciting medium we've got right now.

I know a lot about Canadian politics. I lived in Canadian bars for six years.

I think if you open the door to government control of television, then you let in a host of questions about rights.

I'm the American Winston Churchill.

Interviews don't go to the core of my life. Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.

Laws against things like drugs are inhumane, and create an inhumane society and inhumane law enforcement. I know what's causing violence in America - the damn drug laws.

Never lose your faith in the American Dream. She's a nation under God, and God has never let a good American down.

Obama's IRS is not the IRS I've ever known for over seventy years as an American citizen.

Once the Supreme Court in 1973 decided that infanticide could be legal, it not only ended America's 'inalienable right to life,' it threw the Golden Rule right off the shores of this continent.

The New World Order run by the United Nations ain't gonna happen. Because they've shown their hand, and at least some corner of Congress and the American people are awake to it: they've blown it all.

The attorney general should be enforcing the law, not policy.

Violent drama has been a hallmark of every great civilization. It is not the cause of the disease - it is an immunizing factor. People go to the theater to experience emotions like fear and loathing. Violent drama shows us where we come from. It makes us face our hypocrisy.

When I saw Paul Scofield do 'Love's Labor's Lost at Stratford,' that's when I saw the potential of the level of truth that could go on up there on a stage. I said, 'This is what I want to do.'

I am not this big celebrity, but it gets really crazy. You have to go through the nuts of blowing up, in a sense, and then figuring out how to live your life with that.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did.

If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography.

A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.

The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.

You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.

Everyone wants immediate success, immediate celebrity, and that doesn't produce what used to be artists.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.

My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.

I don't have any friends and don't have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they're not really your friends. They're only there because you're a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.

I don't mean that if you're a Christian, walking close to God, you will immediately gain celebrity. you may fail as an artist, because you may not have what the public want at that time, and you have to be prepared for that.

The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.

Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.

I feel about me like I'm one of the working people, just like you, and everybody else. I don't fit the part of a celebrity.

There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write.

I was 25 and the most popular celebrity in the world, with the possible exception of my friend Mary Pickford.

I think the more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.

However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.

I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor.

I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.
