It's an odd beast, fame. It's got multiple personalities.
I've been in so many good movies that I felt like nobody saw; it's a pretty dreadful feeling.
And Garrison Keillor I think is a fascinating guy and really entertaining.
I think my best skill in this whole deal is as a conduit to try to bring people together, because I think it's in our unity that we'll have the greatest strength.
There are a helluva lot more of us who care about our environment in the world than we realize. We're the majority, and we can do something about that

I think the world's still gonna be here in another 10, 20 years. But I'm not feeling great about things ecologically.
When we did the press conference in the range there was this interesting-looking guy who asked, 'So, you played a mass murderer, a pornographer and now a lawyer -- is there any depth to which you will not sink in your roles?' I thought it was really funny, as if the most extreme of them was a lawyer,
There are so many characters in this film,
