When I was a teenager I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

In terms of number of movies I've been in an extraordinary amount. If you count only the minutes I'm onscreen it's not so long.

You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.

I like action movies even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.

My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay.

The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.

We were doing it under the most extraordinary circumstances but the first out of the tent in the morning would be David Lean. He said to me on the very first day of shooting Pete this is the beginning of a great adventure.

My extravagance is my garden - it's the first thing I look at every morning when I wake up. It gives me so much pleasure.

The inequalities are greater now than in '92. Some states have equalized per-pupil spending but they set the 'equal level' very low so that wealthy districts simply raise extra money privately.

The extravagant expenditure of public money is an evil not to be measured by the value of that money to the people who are taxed for it.
