I was thrown into the fashion world, dating models - and you'd read about me dating a new starlet every month. That's just where my life was. But I've grown up a lot.

Nuclear arms is pretty scary because that could end the world. I'm more interested in that stuff than I am Bill Clinton. I mean, I think Bill Clinton is a good president.

I play guitar and I love the Beatles and melodic music.

I liked getting the best villain award. I thought that was funny.

I guess what I learned the most was to feel lucky with what I have been able to accomplish and what I have and to feel humble about the people I have been able to work with.

It used to be you did TV or you did film. Now it's like a media blitz.

I've mainly been in dramas, so this is one of my first comedy kind of performances in Cecil B. Demented.

Vampires to me have always been very sexy.

I don't want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.

You have to feel the bad to be able to feel the good.

That's the danger of having too much success. You lose that magic, that feeling of not being in control, which I feel now, it's too controlled.

Glory to the Great God of wonders!

I have a very open line of communication with both my children.

I did a lot of personal appearances because I was under contract to ABC.

There is beauty, heartbreaking beauty, everywhere.

That to me is the basic message of events like the rise of Nazism, the Salem witch trials, and so on: not that bad people do bad things, but that good people do bad things.

Religion is the fashionable substitute for belief.

When some external event raises your spirits and you think good days are preparing for you, do not believe it. It can never be so. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems...wars, nations, destructions...to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.

What we're seeing early on is Democrats rallying around Al Gore, Republicans rallying around George Bush and the difficulty of anybody else to get any room in the race.

If America becomes militant, it will be because its people choose to become such; it will be because they think that war and warlikeness are desirable.
