The great thing about an anthology is that each year is its own 10-hour movie, and the only requirement is that it's the best 10-hour movie that I can make out of the story.
I feel more comfortable with gorillas than people. I can anticipate what a gorilla's going to do, and they're purely motivated.
I think - in general, I don't think I've been involved in a single movie that turned out the way I anticipated it to turn out. Just because, as an actor, there's only so much that I can bring to a project.
I can talk about sports and stuff, but I have a season pass for 'Antiques Roadshow' on my TiVo.
I can say this very clearly: I have come into this Congress with an antiwar bias.
I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.
Nothing I can say or devise, and nothing anybody else can say or devise, is going to be perfect.
I'm a workhorse. I'll take anything and everything I can get, and I'll do it with a smile on my face.
Nuclear apocalypse - who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.
To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologise unreservedly.
I love having the Olympic Channel app on my phone because I can watch old gymnastics videos any time.
I can and do aspire to be greater than the sum total of my experiences, but I accept my limitations. I willingly accept that we who judge must not deny the differences resulting from experience and heritage but attempt, as the Supreme Court suggests, continuously to judge when those opinions, sympathies and prejudices are appropriate.
Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever.
I cannot transfer my abilities to anyone, but I can think of quicker ways with which to help people develop numerical aptitude.
For years, I meant to read 'Arabian Sands', Wilfred Thesiger's account of two punishing camel journeys during the late 1940s across Southern Arabia's Empty Quarter. Now that I have, I can sheepishly join the chorus of those who revere the book as one of the half dozen greatest works of modern English travel writing.
I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.
I can guarantee you this, that more pension and benefit reforms which I will consider arbitration reform to be one of them, are things that when they come to my desk, they will be signed.
My favorite artists are the ones that I can take their eight or ten albums, and I can see the arc of their life.
To suggest that God specifically created a worm to torture small African children is blasphemy as far as I can see. The Archbishop of Canterbury doesn't believe that.
I am going, if I can, to be an architect, and I am too old already, and there is no time to lose.
