Quotes

I hate working out. I work out for films solely. I associate working out,with films. As soon as they stop, I stop working out.

Fifty is the new forty. I always thought my best work would come in the,years forty to sixty, if I was fortunate enough to hang around - and it,is hard to stick around.

Who I am as a father is far more important to me than the public,perception.

I am baffled to understand why the things that I saw happening in Iraq,really good things happening in Iraq, are not being reported on.

[on Hudson Hawk (1991) ] I always thought it was a little ahead of,its time, a little too hip for the room.

I think the rules are going to have to change for me to ever run for,public office. My checkered past will always keep me out of politics.

If I ever did run I would run on the platform that I did all these bad,things, but I no longer do them, and during the four years of being,president or whatever office it might be, I would be good and serve my,country. I want to serve my country.

Audiences rebel because they feel that they are being preached to.

[on his planned film about the Iraq war] The movie is about these guys,who do what they are asked for very little money to defend and fight,for what they consider to be freedom.

The idea of serving my country remained in my mind. Over the past few,years from varying sources - Time magazine, books, and television -,information began coming to my attention on Foster Care; its history,and the current crisis of an antiquated system overburdened with,580,000 children who have no voice. Children need to be protected by,interstate technology systems that can track placements, education,medical records and protect these children from predators traveling,from state to state. I saw Foster Care as a way for me to serve my,country in a system by which shining a little bit of light could,benefit a great deal by helping kids who were literally wards of the,government.

[1998] Organized religions in general, in my opinion, are dying forms.

No, I am not in favor of the war in Iraq, so let me stop you right,there. I am not pro-war but what I am is that, I like to support the,young men and women who are over there participating in the war.

I wake up laughing. Yes, I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.

If you take guns away from legal gun owners, then the only people who would have guns would be the bad guys. Even a pacifist would get violent if someone were trying to kill him or her. You would fight for your life, whatever your beliefs. .
