 Don't invade Iraq. Inspections work, war won't. |
| What we try to say is that it doesn't matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat or conservative or independent. You are equally responsible for your place in the culture, and you must make a contribution, and you must accept responsibility for what goes down on your watch. |
| I never went to college when I was young and am looking forward to giving it a try... at age 65! |
| We (actors) don't really change the world. We reflect it... but Washington really changes the world. |
| When I reached adulthood, even now, I could afford to belong to a country club. But I could never belong to a private club because of my experience as a child, because it would isolate me from the whole of humanity. |
| I have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth. |
| I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other. |

| I think the Church is a conduit to God. The Church is not God. And I think that from the very beginning Jesus taught us that. |
| There's no way that I could be the president. You can't have a pacifist in the White House... I'm an actor. This is what I do for a living. |
| I am a very conscientious golfer. I count every stroke. I learned to play that way. That is the only way I can play. It taught me to be honest. There is no greater virtue than honesty. |

| My first civil disobedience arrest for social justice was in 1986 for protesting the SDI. |
| I started caddying when I was nine years old at a very exclusive country club in Dayton, Ohio. And I saw how the other half lived, if you will. |
| Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting. |
