I'm basically talking to the audience, standing alone, describing the weather. It's very rudimentary, the dialogue, saying what the weather is like that day.

I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient.

It's not the dress ... it's the way you see me.

More and more movies have been pressured to allow reporters and TV cameras to come onto the set while you're working, and I find that a real violation

I would love to work more - I really would - but there is not a lot of stuff around and the stuff that is around is not very complicated; it tends to lie a little flat

I get cold really quickly, but I don't care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.

The rhythm of my career has always been very static, staccato and then silent, and then a lot of work, and then none

I know how men in exile feed on dreams of hope.

It is politics to please and hoodwink thoseWho flatter but despise us.

Sometimes it's best to trade an ideal for something more practical that you can guarantee.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. I am Jack's Broken Heart.

In the world we live in, one fool makes many fools, but one sage only a few sages.

I need something fun to get my mind off of pretending to die and I didn't have any squibs under water.

Let us pray! God is just, he tries us; God is pitiful, he will comfort us; let us pray!

Nothing brings out the lower traits of human nature like office-seeking. Men of good character and impulses are betrayed by it into all sorts of meanness.

We must acknowledge that bearing and raising children is not some pesky, peripheral activity that we engage in, but the whole point.

If we continue at this leisurly pace, we will have to pass Russian customs when we land on the moon.
