I will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It is not the Constitution as I would like to have it, but as it is, that is to be defended.

It must be so respected, obeyed, enforced and defended, and let the grass grow where it may.

We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong.

My fellow actors inspire me a lot and really good writing inspires me. And then trying to stick to the decision to only do something that I think will challenge me and that I, personally and very subjectively, I think is good not do something because I think it will bring me a lot of money or bring me a lot of awards. I've tried to very, very rigorously be highly subjective about what I do. And that's something that I think I have basically lived by.
Think good, speak good and do good, to bring about positive change in the world.
