I do think that fist-waving conversations around liberation ideologies are sort of dated – I’m not creating Barbara Kruger moments of self-actualization – what I’m trying to do is create more moments of chaos where we don’t really know where we are: to destabilize; where all the rules are suspended temporarily.
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

I don’t check for Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly or any of these demons on the Right. They don’t wake me up in the morning.

I’m the kind of leader who would try to have honest and difficult conversations.
Sometimes when you get sick and you go to the doctor, it can feel like you didn’t get your money’s worth if you don’t come away with a pill.

Some of my books sort of have a provocative take. Sometimes you find interesting things about characters that show they weren’t necessarily the way people usually see them. It can make for lively conversations, but that’s great. Spark a little controversy, get people to think about it. That’s what it’s all about.
Put me in a costume, and I’m your man. I must have one of those faces which seems to suit period drama more than modern films and TV programmes. But I’m not complaining, I love going back in time.

Too many politicians are shifting the critical themes of our national conversations from a ‘big ideas‘ American Brand Platform to narrowly focused, polarizing sound bites that put party philosophy before what used to be heralded as the common good.

Sometimes I’m just giving, and giving to people who aren’t always deserving. But I’ve learned to listen and approach people without judgment. I’ve had so many conversations with so many different kinds of people – it’s opened my heart, which is useful when I’m writing songs.
I just want to start conversations. I want to do films that prompt conversations – whether that is positive, negative, indifferent – just ones that you leave the theater wanting to know more, wanting to watch the film over and over again.

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in ‘Conversations With My Father!’ I’d never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

Talking to my Senate Republican colleagues about climate change is like talking to prisoners about escaping. The conversations are often private, even furtive.
I was painfully shy for a long time. I mean, that’s something I really had to work my way out of. And I really think it was because, after the 2008 Olympics, I spent a whole year bartending. It was the one thing that really forced me to be just not so scared to start conversations with strangers.
