I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
Now having said that, I realize that releasing a film in the real world is like trying to get General Motors to release a handmade car.
I hate fishing, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to hike when you can get in the car and drive.
'Cars' is a really personal story for me because, first of all, I grew up in Los Angeles - the car crazy capital.
The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.
The first thing I ever rode when I was a kid was a motorcycle, so I knew how to drive a motorcycle before a car.
I will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.
But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I've been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
The easiest and simplest thing that any one can do to make their car safer, more gas efficient, whatever - check the tire pressure.
I cleanse, tone and moisturize twice a day. I exfoliate once a week and carry makeup wipes in the car for freshening up.
My kids have a great dad. I don't really want them to have a stepfather, and I don't think they do, either.
If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
I wanted to get the most broad foundation for a lifelong education that I could find, and that was studying Latin and the classics. Meaning Roman and Greek history and philosophy and ancient civilizations.
I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.
It's easier to see in someone else, another actor, how they kind of disappear and then this other persona appears. A great actor is a thing of mystery.
I sold steaks over the phone in Omaha, Nebraska. Marbling, fantastic. That's what makes a great steak; a lot of people don't know.
I'm not a great shopper but I do buy a lot of books. I'm the publishers' friend - I buy a hundred books a year and read four.
It sounds odd coming from me, but I realize what I say and how I look has a great impact.
I like the Baldwin boys a great deal. Alec is super-smart, super-articulate, almost too smart to be an actor.
