I'm blessed with a good pair of ears. That's how I fooled my piano teacher. I'd watch his fingers and I'd listen to it and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.

You are talking to a man who can only play a plastic keyboard. Give me anything weighted and I've had it. I haven't got the strength in my fingers to push them down. So I don't get a lot of expression on the keyboard.

The five separate fingers are five independent units. Close them and the fist multiplies strength. This is organization.

I do not take steroids. I never have. It's sad to me that people want to point fingers. I don't do that. That's not me. I wouldn't feel like a human being.

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed you can have it and possess it but if you open your fingers in any way you can lose it just as quickly.

The days when the words 'Hollywood actor' framed Ronald Reagan like bunny fingers as an ID tag and an implied insult seem far-off and quaint: nearly everybody in politics - candidate consultant pundit and Tea Party crowd extra alike - is an actor now a shameless ham in a hoked-up reality series that never stops.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.

I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.

I have terrible handwriting. I now say it's a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad.

It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers. Things were just streaming away from me. I lost my sense of humor. I'm still looking for that.
