Ultraconservatism is, to me, so illogical. Everywhere you go, conservatives want to cut, cut, cut, cut - cut money for powerless people. So, that's the biggest problem I have with them.

Being able to stay home with my children is what I prefer.

On a television show, precise acting isn't the order of the day.

I consider myself a pretty good conversationalist, but you wind up being downgraded to idiot status when you don't speak the language!

When I told my parents, 'I'm going to be an actor,' they screamed and wept and freaked out.

I don't need to be married to Georgia O'Keeffe or Lillian Hellman, but I like being with a woman I can look up to.

Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.

In the theater, you act more of the time. In the movies, you get to act maybe 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I love acting in movies. It's just different.

Men are literally lying in bed with their wives when the marriage is essentially over, thinking, 'I've got to get the hell out of here', and have a fantasy woman in mind.

Manhattan is like Beverly Hills. And the soul of New York has moved to Brooklyn, where everything new and exciting seems to be.

I think Rachel Maddow is quite good at what she does. I also think she's a phony who doesn't have the same passion for the truth off-camera that she seems to have on the air.

I had a marriage that I came to in the same way everybody else comes to a marriage. We all take chances when we get married.
