I was always the guy who jumped off the roof of the garage, who could climb up the facade of a building.
I want to know how these very people who are against war because of loss of life can possibly be the same people who are for abortion? They are the same people who are for animal rights, but they are not for the rights of the unborn.

I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.
I get kids who say, 'Oh, I love your movie, but my mum loves your dad.' It's really nice to be able to share that with him, but it doesn't define who I am career-wise.
To mark the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, I wanted to launch an FDNY shirt that pays tribute to the brave first responders who, like my father, risk their lives in the line of duty on a regular basis. All of the proceeds raised from the sale of the T-shirt benefit the New York Police & Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund.
We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.
Think of all the really successful men and women you know. Do you know a single one who didn't learn very young the trick of calling attention to himself in the right quarters?
It's a very weird thing. When you see your house naked, you feel very protective of it and of the people who lived here before.
After high school, I drove out to L.A. with a friend of mine who had just graduated also, and I started auditioning. I got an agent, but it was all 'Saved By the Bell' auditions.

Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader.

Senators who once supported common-sense legislation have gone silent as stones under the threat of the polluters' spending.
Many women who have anorexia put their hearts in a compromised situation.
The supporting thing can be harder to pop in and out of. The hardest thing is the people who have to come in and play, say, the bartender for a day - that's a lot harder than playing the lead role.
