As you may know, previously as Attorney General and now as Governor, I have supported legislation to close the gun show loophole in North Carolina.

I think people respond to villains because people in general are more villainous than heroic.

I've been blessed by doing classic plays on Broadway, which was one of my great dreams forever.

My mother always told me growing up I had a punchable face. Little did I know she was predicting my television career.

To a large extent, people's interest in the character is the mystery of the character.

Now they had to sit in separate places and sometimes they'd even have to sit outside and look through the windows. But they did worship together.

Toil and pleasure, dissimilar in nature, are nevertheless united by a certain natural bond.

It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.

Intellect, without heart, is infinitely cruel. . . .

No price is too great to pay for inner peace.
