The only thing I see here with the celebrities is that they do go overseas, like Pierce Brosnan - who's not even an American citizen, he's an Irishman, unfortunately - and they present a perception of America that's flat-out not true. For that they should be chastised.
I think Buddhism is a wonderful philosophy. I've had the good fortune to meet many wonderful teachers from that society.
I think Daniel is a very fine actor. These are rocky waters and they are going to get him one way or another, but I think he will have the last laugh at the end of it.

I think if Roman Polanski had asked me to do the phone book, I would have said, 'Yes.'
I thought. ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation.

I had a theatre company years ago when I was a young man, and we would do street theater. This guy did a workshop one day on fire eating, and I participated, and it was just one of those party tricks that you learn.
