I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure.

The source known as Deep Throat provided a kind of road map through the scandal. His one consistent message was that the Watergate burglary was just the tip of the iceberg.

The fact of the Watergate cover-up is not nearly as interesting as the step into making the cover-up. And when you understand the step, you understand that Richard Nixon lied. That he was a criminal.

Sometimes,doing nothing is the best reaction.

Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.

Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don't love what you're doing, get off it.

When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

We speak, but it is God who teaches.

Who's poorer, the one who begs for money or those who have not enough to give away? Or are they reflecting one another and the same nature?

Hey…you don’t look like a rabbit.

I'm not leaving until you tell me why you followed me. I know I'm a fascinating guy, but this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession.

The worst question really comes from the attitude of the asker and it usually comes in the form of "What was your inspiration for the film?"

The most interesting thing about change in the environment is that for the most part the environment isn't changing.

For Jesus Christ I am prepared to suffer still more.

The only way of really finding out a man's true character is to play golf with him. In no other walk of life does the cloven hoof so quickly display itself.

I am and always will be an HRH. But out of personal choice I like to be called William because that is my name and I want people to call me William - for now.

And although I've been very fortunate in the film work that's come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I'm away for a maximum of two years, I feel something's wrong.
