I don't think actors should have to do anything but come in and act.

My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act.

I don't want to expose the intricacies of my work so people can understand how I did it.

Even though we can't communicate using the same language, we use music instead.

Many journalists seem to believe that we have become little different from our enemies.

To defeat evil, we may have to traffic in evils: indefinite detention of suspects, coercive interrogations, targeted assassinations, even pre-emptive war.

In China we can criticize Darwin but not the government. In America you can criticize the government but not Darwin.

Assure a man that he has a soul and then frighten him with old wives' tales as to what is to become of him afterward, and you have hooked a fish, a mental slave.
