The earth is the very quintessence of the human condition. There's always going to be dreams and goals I have, but I never really tell people what they are. He who loveth a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, or an effectual comforter. I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan, and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is, and she lives in Spain. Sitting around the house playing the wife and mother is driving me crazy. That's whatever news topic, whatever political process any country is going through - whenever they are in the news, that's when they exist. If you don't see them they don't exist. Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains. Aerosmith went on The Simpsons and they had fun. Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

As far as missile defense is concerned, a very thorough consultation process is underway. Whether gods exist or not, there is no way to get absolute certainty about ethics. Without absolute certainty, what do we do? We do the best we can. As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end. I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule. I didn't study acting. To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling. I'm not letting him write anything. I didn't do anything.
