Government is force, pure and simple. There's no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society - people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily. ↗

I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I'd put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don't have to do that, because catchers' mitts are more like first baseman's gloves. ↗

I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it's not the safest thing in the world. ↗

Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work. ↗

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting. ↗

Fame really works against actors, in a way, because our anonymity is a wonderful thing for us. ↗

I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop. ↗
