I read the script for Wonder Boys and I said that was almost perfect it was so classy cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.

I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight because that's a pretty cool concept.

I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it it can be a very beautiful thing.

I just hope that theaters remain. I think there's something very wonderful about getting into a dark room with a bunch of people. There's something cool about that. Brings us all together in one room where we can experience all those emotions.

A wonderful thing about a book in contrast to a computer screen is that you can take it to bed with you.

Is there any wonder why we are in such big trouble? Any question why the people don't trust their government anymore and demand a change?

I like change. There's something Buddhist about it - continuous change is wonderful.

I was away from the front lines for a while this spring living with other troops and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.

Well what was called the blessed hope of the Bible is that one day Jesus Christ would come back again start a whole new era that this world order that we know it would change into something that would be wonderful that we'd call the millennium.

Since change is constant you wonder if people crave death because it's the only way they can get anything really finished.
