For the last four or five years, I had been in the position where I didn't have to take a pilot. I took this one because the script and the people were terrific. It never frightened me. As we were doing the pilot, I could tell that it was working. ↗

I couldn't go anywhere unless there was a security guard with me. That spoiled my life. It was like being in captivity. Those days are gone, and I don't ever want to see that happen to me again. Now I can wander around the streets of Los Angeles on my own. I like it that way. ↗

We are now at a point where we must educate our children in what no one knew yesterday, and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet. ↗

The left-leaning thinking that dominates the movie business follows a common liberal instinct to deny the spiritual dimension to every problem, thereby profoundly compounding the difficulties. ↗

The fact is that I've always been interested in politics and public service. I enjoy it and I think it's important and I believe in it. And I've been fortunate to be here when the opportunity has presented itself. ↗

For Members of Congress, we are saying here on the Democratic side of the aisle we are not going to vote for another pay increase for Members of Congress until the American people get an increase. ↗
