I never thought of my father when I was growing up. Truly. He was a strong, silent man who worked hard to support his family.

I never went through a gender identity problem, but I did with my sexuality.

I remember my first review in London said I was the next Peter Brook. I said: 'No way. I'm not Peter Brook. I don't have the maturity, the experience, the intelligence. Don't burden me.'

We should never overestimate an audience's culture, but we should never underestimate their intelligence.

Two of man's basic needs are to love and to share. Both of these needs are satisfied in greater or lesser degree by friendship.

When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.

Virtual environments are anonymous, and I'm concerned that people - mainly younger folks who grow up this way - will see social relationships as part of a game.

It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend.
