I have learned more from Hayek than from any other living thinker, except perhaps Alfred Tarski - but not even excepting Russell.
I don't like juries having the wool pulled over their eyes. I don't think that's what the Constitution is about.
I always thought that was one of the single most important things a prosecutor could do is to seek justice for the families of victims.
I think the truth is black-and-white.
I don't expect everybody to like me. If you try to please everybody, by changing your position and your personality, every time you do that you lose a little bit of yourself.
Honestly, some cases have been more famous than others - like Tot Mom, or Steven Avery, or Scott Peterson - but I would not characterize any one as being more special to me, more intriguing, or more important because that would be placing one victim as more important, or one defendant as more [notorious] than others, and I don't think that's right.
I was in the courtroom prosecuting violent felonies for well over a decade.
I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.
Everybody always asks me what the big surprises were that I discovered about Woody and I never have a good stock answer for that, I never know quite what to tell them other than generally that he's much less neurotic and quirky than I would have expected.
I'm turning 30 years old this year. . . it's better than 20, I'll tell you that. The lessons I've learned.
Whoever invented marriage was an ingenious tormentor. It is an institution committed to the dulling of the feelings. The whole point of marriage is repetition. The best it aims for is the creation of strong, mutual dependencies.
