I'm always looking to the next thing. There are always hurdles, whether it's the White House dinner or hosting charity events or that night's show: Until they're over, I worry, then I move right on to the next thing. It's hard for me to enjoy the moment. I'm just thinking about not failing.

In 2008, I was more just thinking about using the touchscreen for writing the songs. From there I started thinking about how I visualised music.

Most people think the Shakers are in Pennsylvania. They tend to confuse them with the Amish.

I think each film should be regarded as its own specific text.

Frankly, if you do politics, you should not be thinking about your dignity.

If I'm reading a script, and I'm not buying it, I need to be able to relate to the character on some level, and they need to have more than one dimension. I need to have an idea of what this guy's thinking about when he's taking a shower not on camera. And if I can't picture him taking a shower and getting dressed, then he's not a real person.

I think the most radical thing you can do is be yourself.

I think everybody individually does things a little differently. As a quarterback, every quarterback has their strengths and their weaknesses.

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I'm proud of being British, but I think our aristocracy is overrated.

I think doing dramas kind of wears on you. It's just intense.

I think competition turns people into what they normally wouldn't be.

I think I write songs because of pent-up feelings.

I don't think women's prisons are environments for dance routines, and I don't think mass murder is humorous.

I don't think of myself as a comedian.

I think Brock Lesnar does whatever Brock Lesnar wants to do.

I don't think 'Jurassic Park' could have been so much fun had Spielberg not made a 'Schindler's List.'

I think Benjamin Bratt is the most dreamy... he's dreamy! And I love the fact that he's got this Peruvian heritage; he's absolutely striking.
