I love being an ambassador for 'Star Wars.'

Anytime you open your mouth there's going to be someone who's put off. I try to deal with that by keeping the topical portions of my show brief. I realize that some people wish my comments were briefer.

Growing up, I wasn't allowed dolls, and my brothers weren't allowed guns. I inherited my brothers' clothes. I was never dressed in pink, and they were never dressed in blue; there were none of those rules that people still bizarrely subscribe to.

There are actors who spend 20 years working and still don't achieve what I've achieved so quickly. So I think my only course of action is to work as hard as I can, not just for the sake of the film, but also to prove to these people that I do have talent.

I've always wanted to put a little solarium on the back of my house. You know. Glass.

A lot of people, myself included, are excited about blogging and stuff like that, citizen journalism, but I do remind people that no matter how excited we are, there's no substitute for professional writing, no substitute for professional editing, and no substitute for professional fact-checking.

I was never charged with tax evasion. I've never been a tax protester.

I love the romance of what I do, although because of Isabella, Lady Gaga and Grace Jones, people think I have crazy customers. Sometimes I get more enthusiasm from the housewife who wants a hat and believes in it.

Heroin gave me wings but took away the sky.

I was into playing American music, especially the blues.

Kindness is a distemper which is soon cured by experience.

People go into politics because they want the affirmation, and they want the applause.

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.
