Learning is a tunnel experience that makes us think more broadly.

I think that art is supposed to be ahead of the times.

I think we need leadership that helps us remember that part of what we are about is caring about more than the person right next to us, but the folks across the way.

If you think about what acting is supposed to be, my job is to disappear.

Growing up, we never got to see a hero who didn't have superpowers who looked like us, that you could kind of look to and say, 'I could be that guy one day. I could be a patriot. I could be a soldier. I could work in the government and be a hero.'

I believe in decentralized democracy.

The next president needs to know foreign policy and not learn it on the job.

Governments are composed of human beings, and all of the frailties that humans possess are absorbed into these governments and become active within these governments. Hatred, anger, jealousy, fear, greed, distrust and the whole host of afflictions that humans must bear, lurk just beneath the surface of civility displayed by 'government.'
