With While You Were Sleeping it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.

I love romantic comedy but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like 'Oh here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

As far as the leading man/romantic lead I'll tell you what I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.

I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience for another romantic comedy.

Even actresses that you really admire like Reese Witherspoon you think 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think 'God you're so great!' And then you think 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course it's for money and status.

I have women coming up to me and saying: 'I love your character! She's so empowered. She takes control she gets what she wants.' That's another side of her. And I respect that in Joan. She says and does things that I would never allow myself to do.

Another important aspect of our home was respect for ideas.

Second there are two problems with respect to mobile homes in particular. One is we obviously don't want to put them in a flood plain because if there's another flood you're going to lose the mobile home.

And in this respect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a tragedy a clash between one very powerful very convincing very painful claim over this land and another no less powerful no less convincing claim.

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far I think it's respect and quality and company not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

I have a feeling that being in love sometimes means the projection of your desires onto another person. The important thing is that you like the other person respect the other person and want to raise children with the other person.

I don't have to participate in another culture's ceremonies in order to respect that culture.

Being a monarchist - saying that one small group is born more worthy of respect than another - is just as warped and strange as being a racist.

Like Christ said love thee one another. I learned to do that and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had.

I have a rule on my team: when we talk to one another we look each other right in the eye because I think it's tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody.

Respect for another man's opinion is worthy. It is the realization that any opinion is valuable for it is the sign of a rational being.

But really we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.

One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.

The little religion that I have clung to-that what matters most is the continuity of life and its improvement from one generation to another.

And these two elements are at odds with one another because Freud is utterly adversary to almost all the ways of structuring the human experience found in Western religions. No Western religion can countenance Freud's view of man.

Most modern science fiction went to school on 'Dune.' Even 'Harry Potter' with its 'boy protagonist who has not yet grown into his destiny' shares a common theme. When I read it for the first time I felt like I had learned another language mastered a new culture adopted a new religion.

The religion of the Indian is the last thing about him that the man of another race will ever understand.

Nevertheless there is another threat on the horizon. I see this threat in environmentalism which is becoming a new dominant ideology if not a religion. Its main weapon is raising the alarm and predicting the human life endangering climate change based on man-made global warming.
