When I look back on my childhood, I think of that short time in Beirut. I know that seeing the city collapse around me forced me to grasp something many people miss: the fragility of peace.

The tragic element of a character is always intriguing I think.

The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.

Sometimes I look back and think, 'Good. I'd love to go in and bang out a good episode of 'Talk Soup' today.'

I was always explaining why my term papers were never on time. I think that's where I got my acting training!

We all have to lead double lives, not just celebrities. The face we put on publicly with our jobs and certain situations. I think that's part of the human condition.

Most actors are very deeply passionate about their line of work. I suppose there are probably people who sell insurance policies that are passionate about it, but I'm thinking the ratio is a little higher for actors. But, I may be wrong.

There's no harmony in most people in a way, and I'm attracted to it, and I think it makes for good storytelling.

I don't think there's any connection between my journalism career and my film career. They are two totally different mediums and very different skills.
