Having bought furniture for my own house, and bought furniture for our house in Washington, a furniture store seemed like a good idea, and it also played into my personal history.

Everybody makes personal decisions that are right for them and if you're in political life, you're used to having those analyzed.

I think self-knowledge is the rarest trait in a human being.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
