When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend. I can't lie like that anymore.

I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I think we're all actors.

I only hear my own voice. When you start hearing other voices, then it's time to worry.

I don't know why, but I like the saxophone.

One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.

One of my biggest fears is not being able to break out of a rut; of becoming a prisoner to my ways, unable to change course. But in my mid-thirties, I learned you can change your thinking.

Books measure time in both moments and years. We all grow old but the stories never will.

Stop now and always wonder. Press forward and tap the wonder.

When the 'Batman' TV series was taken to the silver screen, one of America's favourite sweethearts would don the mask and claws of Catwoman.

To deny the predictive validity of race at this level is nonscientific and unrealistic.

When you're a kid, Kermit is Tom Hanks. He's Tom Hanks for kids or Jimmy Stewart for kids. He's truly the every man.

Whenever I get lost in a novel I just throw a poem in. What it does is flare up, and it's so illuminated that I'm able to see where to go. I write between these illuminations.

I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me; people over 45.

Intuition transcends reason, but does not contradict it
