I don't think cellulite is great - that's not a flaw that I want in a photo by any means! I retouch that crap out. But I tell women that I'm retouching it out.

I am not an intellectual. An intellectual is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso, whereas I just say 'pass the mustard'.

Obama's very unpopular. I don't need a poll to tell me that.

I was not going to let people tell me what I'm capable of.

This 'historical record' will exist, flawed as it is, in hundreds of years. What will that tell the future? How accurate are we reporting our lives?

So you don't speak English, you have no ID, you can't tell where you're from... that's suspicion, it's lower than probable cause. And then we have a right to call immigration and check you out.

Trump's alliance with Russia's Vladimir Putin, in defiance of America's own intelligence community, the Department of Justice, and the bipartisan report of the Senate Intelligence Committee, forces us to face that the fundamental principles of our nation are under attack.

I'm not terribly science-y. I couldn't tell you what's the binomial equation or how many atoms in a mole.

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if a joke is working or not for the first couple of minutes.

The only people that ever stand up and tell the truth are who? Intelligence officers. Because our culture is, never break faith with the truth. We'll tell you, you don't have to drag it out of us.

Growing up in an atmosphere of storytelling made me an actor.

My dad used to build computers for the U.S. government, for military intelligence. So he always had computers around the house.

Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.

It's always easier to play with players who are not only great but also intelligent.

The second I tell myself I have to do something, I'm sure to do the opposite.

It should tell you something that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency invented the Taliban in the early 1990s only because Hekmatyar, its primary U.S.-bankrolled proxy in the war for control of Afghanistan, had proved too bloodthirsty after the Soviets withdrew, even by the low standards of the ISI's ghastly generals in Rawalpindi.

I don't make movies to make a point; I make movies to tell stories about people.

Quick condemnation of all that is not ours, of views with which we disagree, of ideas that do not attract us, is the sign of a narrow mind, of an uncultivated intelligence. Bigotry is always ignorant, and the wise boy, who will become the wise man, tries to understand and to see the truth in ideas with which he does not agree.

You have multiple intelligence agencies. They all ultimately report to the director of national intelligence but, you know, it never comes in neat packages. So you have to make judgments on what you have, and it's not easy to do.
