I've had three biographies made about my life so people know an awful lot about me.

It's been the work that has carried me and I never wanted to rest on my laurels or go back and do what I done before.

It's not about the fame and the money because if you do good work all that stuff comes

My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.

I was silver-white by the time I was 35, but having grey hair makes me look washed out. My wife and son have both said that grey hair doesn't suit me because I have a boyish face.

I'm never going to retire and say, 'This is it. This is my last show.' I will not go on tour - I promised my wife and son no more than two weeks on the road.

I'm not saying that I won't tour again, but the chances are slim because my priorities are different now.

As a father, I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.

I'm a really good team player. That's what it takes to work in the theater. That's what it takes to work in a band with musicians and writers.

I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.

I never did very well in math - I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally.

In a meadow full of flowers, you cannot walk through and breathe those smells and see all those colors and remain angry. We have to support the beauty, the poetry, of life.

In my mind, there isn't as much of a distinction between documentary and fiction as there is between a good movie and a bad one.

The education of young people in science is at least as important, maybe more so, than the research itself.

Get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats...

When we say democracy we have to mean what we say.

It is higher and nobler to be kind.

I always try to have something that keeps my mind relaxed, keeps my mind a little bit off tennis.

Morality is not defined and cannot be defined by individual choice.

In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may not have that chance again.
