When you consider all the stars I have managed mere submarines make me smile.

And I like the look on people's faces when I say I'm doing this movie called Pride and Prejudice and they kind of smile and then I say I'm in a movie called Doom and they kind of do a double take and try and put the two things together. And they never quite manage to.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin-Robbins.

The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It's critical that the manager has the respect of players so he can make the moves that he feels is appropriate without having somebody go to the papers. They respect you. So you respect them back.

The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.

Managers have very tough jobs. I always respected their job but demanded respect in return.

Just as the Russians and the Soviets didn't manage to wipe out languages in Lithuania neither have they managed to wipe out religion to the extent that we had feared.

For no art and no religion is possible until we make allowances until we manage to keep quiet the enfant terrible of logic that plays havoc with the other faculties.
