I'd love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There's not too many of them made, so I don't know if I'll ever get to do that. They're awfully hard movies to make.
A film based on a jolly good John Grisham book is fine, but I like to get a bit under the skin.
Ever since John Kennedy, Democrats have had a weakness for dashing younger men like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and, I suppose, Jimmy Carter. They balance their tickets with senior statesmen - Lyndon Johnson, Joe Biden, Walter Mondale. (Al Gore was young but played ancient).
Why couldn't Obama have picked somebody respectable as his running mate, you know, like John Kerry did?
John Kerry, who says he doesn't like outsourcing, wants to outsource our national security.
Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have left the U.S. with better relations with Iran and Cuba and worse relations with allies like Israel.
No matter what, I can't sound like John Lennon. But I can do Tom Jones.
A person like Donald Trump, who has said what he's said about Muslims, Mexicans, women, George Bush, John McCain - a person like that should not be the nominee of our party or be the president, and I will campaign for an alternative to Donald Trump until that avenue is no longer open.
I like John McCain. He can always be counted on for a good quote.
John McCain... looks like a fraud to me.
I grew up, like most people in my generation, watching John Travolta. I was thrilled to meet him.
I love John Waters. There's stuff in it that's beyond the boundaries of my taste, but his movies have always been like that.
I'd like to work with John Waters. I grew up in Maryland, so I'm a huge Waters fan.
Steve Allen was on Johnny Carson one time - I looked for it, but I couldn’t find it - and he read the lyrics to 'Hot Stuff' by Donna Summer like a poet. He read them very seriously. I was maybe 8, but it killed me.
As you get older, some top notes drop off and bottom notes appear, which I quite like. You listen to Leonard Cohen or Johnny Cash, and you see the advantage of the lower end.
I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.
I actually thought Pope Paul VI was the most tragic figure in the modern church, like Lyndon Johnson was a very tragic figure in politics in some ways.
You don't get recognized that much unless you want to get recognized, like if you go to the fancy joints and that. It's like, L.A. - there are 10 restaurants. If you want to be seen, you go.
When I was younger, I used to love Tim Burton's 'Batman.' I was, like, 15, and even then, I was aware, 'This is really the Joker's film.' It's like, the Joker just takes over, and Batman, you really don't learn too much about him.
I'm not a pop star. I don't feel like one. I'm always joking that I'm actually an eight-year-old boy dreaming about being a pop star.
