I don't think Bono decided to be ambitious, he just is. But if this country ever ran out of electricity, just shove a plug up his hole and it would run for a week.

As I'm getting older, I'm getting funkier. So that's what I'm wearing. Funky shoes.

I'm actually quite modest. All I want is a nice car. All I want is a drink at midnight on Sunday night and I'll be a very happy man.

Music and books were my inspiration too. I read avidly as a kid. And that's the beautiful thing about books and music and even movies, is that you can actually escape. You can go into other worlds.

I've always as a performer on stage tend to sort of throw myself into the character, whatever I've written about, so it depends on how I'm writing or what I'm writing about.

I like a fine wine. Who can beat that? I don't think it helps writing; I think it's a hinderance. It helps numb you.

So many people have touched my heart and made an impact on my world. I'm thankful for every lesson and learning experience.

Perhaps the most difficult thing is shooting scenes set 6,000 feet up in the mountains of Mexico.

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.

We lost one child and we gained ten thousand children.

I try not to have a day pass where I don't read something from the Bible. It's like my sustenance to me.

I still want to do my work. I still want to do my livingness. And I have lived. I have been fulfilled. I recognized what I had, and I never sold it short. And I ain't through yet.

Why are comedic parts for women the exception, not the rule?

I rarely stay at home when I'm in New York. I'm always doing things. It brings you so much energy.

I don't want to think that the stories are finite; I want to feel that they can go on forever.
