How can you ask someone to live in the world and not have something to say about injustice?

It stands for diversity. It stands for vision and strength. It stands for belief in the right things. That's what I think it stands for.

The beginning don't matter. The end don't matter. All that matters is what you do in between...the greatest reward is to know that you did your job when you were here on the planet.

You have to remember that Hollywood is in the business of making movies that they can sell tickets to, they're not in the business of finding great roles for actors.

It's funny to be pigeonholed so late in life but there we are.

I'm not going to name any names, but let's just say, I want to do jokes on Donald Trump so badly, and I have no venue. So right now, I'm just dry Trumping.
