Things last so much longer than people.
You've got to learn to handle the press because god knows the government does all the time.
I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution.
My anti-authoritarian instincts let me directly to criminal defense work.
I would never defend a cop - though I did on a few private cases, when cops were acting not as cops but as private citizens.
Lawyering is very individualistic. There are lawyers who are going to be that persistent birddog, they're never going to give up on the client, they're going to defend people.
The only way not to be afraid is to join with other people who are also afraid.
Your kids can say some cruel things to you at times. For example, Nicole, Miles and Sofie are standing there in the room and I'm dressed to kill in my own mind. They'll say to me, 'Dad, you're not going out there looking like that are you?' If that doesn't kill a star, I don't know what does!
It is often the case with the silent children about us, that they cherish a dream which they dare not talk about.
What it means to be a man is to take on all the emotional pain and work through what you got to work through with the people you love while at the same time getting your business done. And it's tough. I think that most children when they grow up they kind of realize that the things they didn't like about their parents or didn't understand about them they get now and that you know every year you get more responsibilities. You get more overhead. You get more things you got to take care off.
A man without makeup is like a cake without icing.
