I have to keep myself in check when I go to the kids' sports events. I sit waaay in the back. I make sure I don't do too much cheering, you know what I mean? I'm still not quite adjusted to this modern school of thought: Oh, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm not all the way there yet, but I accept it from the back row.

I just know that sameness, repetition, and conceptualizing are the acting craft's adversaries, and it seems more intelligent to start off within a framework where those things are, to some degree, taken out of your hands.

I've always had lots of friends who share my perspective - I guess you could say that I'm a guy who aggressively pursues his happiness.
Jack Nicholson

I'm very fortunate in the sense that outside of cohabitating relationships and so forth, I've always got on just as well with women.

Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?

I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.

I think the Greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy. In sports there are absolute rules. It's not, What about this? What about that? Either you're safe or you're out. It's ten yards or it's not. It's in the hoop or out of the hoop. It's certain.

In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.

You make me want to be a better man.

I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.

You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.

A man needs a private life. With no ability to have a private life, one thing leads to another, and before you know it we have Bill and Monica. We need to get real about things. Humans are humans. Why should we expect more?

Believe it or not, I supported Richard Nixon on the issue of presidential privilege. How could anyone conceive of being the president of the United States and think that every single thing that you say or do can become a part of the public record? It just seems so stupid to me.
