An entertainer should in his public performance keep himself out of any controversy, political or otherwise.

I have always examined closely the motives of any group for which I am asked to raise money.

I could not separate myself off stage from myself on stage, as so many actors can.

My singing is part of me, like my stoutness, or my light hair, or my poor eyesight.

In many competitive worlds like luxury, things are done behind closed doors and with secrecy, so one day I had a eureka moment: for one weekend we show everything, full transparency, forget about business or commerce and showcase our work.

I started acting when I was at Amherst my junior year, and my lacrosse career kind of started to flop sideways after that.

It's a job and we're going to work together for six months, so let's have a good time.

By the way, conversely, one thing I've learned in my career, beginning when I ran for mayor, is that a lot of older voters are among the most excited about a younger candidate. So, you know, I think somebody of any age can deliver a compelling message.
