I have a 6-year-old and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

A government for protecting business only is but a carcass and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.

The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.'

As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film he falls deeper in love with his wife so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement but it also has heart and soul.

What I've discovered is that in art as in music there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie.

It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
