It`s kind of true, you do disappear off the planet if you are a middle-aged woman, but that has some advantages as well. Because too much of my life was spent waiting to be seen. Hoping to be seen, hoping to be picked. Once you realize that you aren`t loo...

Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn`t really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously. He`s not from another planet,...

I`m not this dark, twisted person. Yes, I have my demons and this is my way of exorcising them. It gets them out - and better out than in. Actually, I think that it`s the comedians who are the darkest people on the planet, because they think life`s just b...

[when asked what comic books he likes] I`m a Marvel guy. Superman was my favorite at first when I was a young kid. But even as a kid, after seeing him lift a planet one issue, race around the world in a half a second the next, then get beat by the Toy Man...

On the best thing about playing a Star Trek captain: "I was very excited. I was a huge fan of the original Star Trek, and I`d never even dreamed that I would someday be captain of a starship... I`m a big fan of the future of space programs on this planet,...

[on Chicago] I have a place in Chicago and I get there as much as I can . . . The city is so unbelievably beautiful. It`s one of the greatest cities on the planet. My heart beats differently when I`m in Chicago. It slows down and I feel more at ease.
Jeremy Piven
I can`t imagine being somebody else. And anything I play, my reference is completely from the planet Showbusiness. I don`t know anything about anybody else, people that I`ve known all my life - my family, my brothers - I don`t know... I only know about me...
Christopher Walken
I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don`t do things to shock people. I`m not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don`t know how long I`m going to be on this planet. So while I`m here, I might as well make the most of it.
