I like to think of myself at home in the armchair writing smoking and occasionally wandering down the shop.

The worst feeling in the world is the homesickness that comes over a man occasionally when he is at home.

I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris I used to go out and riot occasionally.

Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

What this country needs what every country needs occasionally is a good hard bloody war to revive the vice of patriotism on which its existence as a nation depends.

One needs occasionally to stand aside from the hum and rush of human interests and passions to hear the voices of God.

The prospects for a coherent hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year as the poor waterlogged gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

Twitter to me works if you're funny. Twitter doesn't work as a promotional tool unless you do it very very very occasionally.

At home in L.A. Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.

Eventually I want to be a full-time mother who works occasionally - and being an actor you have that freedom.
