I was born a limited-government person. I've always had this streak going through me.

I'm never surprised by the insensitivity of 'The New York Times' editorial board.

I still am a virulent anti-communist. It is a bad system, an immoral system, and one that takes away the rights of people and the rights of individuals. And everywhere it's gone, it's failed.

My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.

Government should steer, not row.

I was the first one in my family to go to college.

I was born here in the city, born in the Bronx. Son of a cop. One grandfather was a taxi driver; the other was a firefighter. New York is in my DNA.

You'll never get anywhere unless you're independent of the good and bad opinion of others. Be fearless.

I always play girls who are quite traumatised, or a plain girl, but I'm happy with that.

You know, doing what is right is easy. The problem is knowing what is right.

The meek shall inherit the earth. The rest of us are going to the stars.

An active mind needs an outlet. If it stops by itself from within, well and good; otherwise one should not try to stop this by force.

We are all born creative. We just got it educated out of us.
