Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.

Millennials are often portrayed as apathetic, disinterested, tuned out and selfish. None of those adjectives describe the Millennials I've been privileged to meet and work with.

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.

Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

Celebrate those who have the courage to be second, because I do think that often there really is this claustrophobic pressure to innovate instead of to adapt.

Patience is a virtue, but impatience gets things done.

When we look at that jingoism and the sexism and the racism and the homophobia, that's not who we are, and that's not the country that I want my daughter to grow up in.

I'm a big health-food freak and a vegetarian devotee.

Even during my father's 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, 'Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?' 'No. I am four.'

Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.

Sometimes, you have to make the choice to forgive 10 times a day when you have these pockets of anger come up. That's a lot of work, but to me it's worthwhile.

I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules?

I had done a lot of plays, particularly at my own theater in LA, and it was the first time in my theatrical life where I didn't feel that my role was also to keep everybody else working hard.

The world asks, How much does he give? Christ asks why does he give?

I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph. The comedian blew him off. I'll never forget the look on the young boy's face. He was devastated.

You can lose your weight, but you can't lose your personality. And people's personalities don't change.

When I say R&B is dead, I'm pretty much saying the creativity is gone.

I'm not dying for things to say.

The real artist is striving to depict his subject's character and to stress the caricature, but at least it is art which is alive.
