I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.
If I go into a restaurant there's a very good chance that I'm going to spend my time being the mayor. If I want to have a good time, I'm happier having dinner here.
He [Castro] is a genius. We spoke about everything.
I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it.
I want my kids to have a deep, inner feeling that it's alright to be happy, that you don't have to be constantly manufacturing problems that you don't really have.
I've always understood money; it's not a big mystical thing to me.
You look at someone long enough, you discover their humanity.
There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad.

Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett are very good actresses.
