I`m moved to think about the political state of our country right now. Most people who go out and vote have a very clear sense of what`s right and wrong. And a lot of those people who don`t aren`t sure, so they don`t go out and vote.

I don`t smack him around. I don`t yell at him. And if he wants to go to the park in his pajamas, I don`t care.

I`m pretty political when it comes to human rights and things like that.

I started college Pre-Med. That lasted about half a semester.

At this point, I`m spoiled. I`ve actually had a really blessed career.

People are first and foremost Republicans, first and foremost Anarchists, first and foremost a man or woman, and that is a mistake. It hurts the individual and it hurts the whole.

My bones are tired from all the tragedy in me.

I`m very wary of large groups of people getting together and trying to believe the same thing. It never seems to end well, whether it`s political or religious or whatever.

And then, all of a sudden, you`re like, all that`s great and fun, but Arthur Miller`s in my dressing room. This is the third night he`s been here and he sits in my dressing room for an hour after each show, and talks to me for an hour. So I`m pretty spoiled right now.

It sounds so trite but in relationships, you have to communicate.

Well I`m not much of a singer. But it`s been a really nice time to do film, television, theater and have it all happening at once. That wasn`t planned but it just happens.

This is exactly what I have always wanted to be doing. It`s been difficult to get here. I`ve had to do a lot of other things along the way.

We live in a country where people still get beaten to death because of their sexual orientation.

I think that being a conscious parent opens your eyes to the fact that any adult relationships that you have, whenever children are present on a daily basis, that they`re modeling how they get along with people by what they see how you get along.

I think that every show on television has its place. I think Married With Children or, I don`t know, The Nanny... some people want to go home, turn on the TV and be able to iron their clothes or grab a sandwich. Come out and catch a joke and not have to follow the story.
