Quotes
- Artists, actors and performers are sometimes vilified for stepping outside of the workplace or using their work as a kind of bully pulpit.

You can’t possibly answer all these phones, nor should you. ‘Buzz’ – that’s really a quite apropos word. They say it’s great for the film. Well, if it’s great for the film, that’s great. [on the “buzz” surrounding him and his performance in Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)]
- Television and film are our libraries now, our history books.
