Yoga is the best thing for your sex life. It keeps you limber in all kinds of ways. It teaches you to love your body and your partner's body. But more than anything, it keeps your mind liquid, and nothing's sexier than that.
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
The war against terrorism is terrorism.
You have to focus on what you're passionate about. For me it's the forests and of course, because I'm concerned about the forests, I'm concerned about the way paper is made.
The state of the health of the individual is equivalent to the state to the health of the colon.
I try not to spend too much time with regret, although I wish I'd had more hang time with my dad.

That's probably why Harrison Ford lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
I used to live in Los Angeles, but I didn't want my kids to grow up in the thick of the obsession with movie-making. There's a lot of sensationalism and superficiality. I wanted to take my kids out of that and raise 'em up elsewhere, and I wanted to stop being preoccupied with whether my star is on the rise or the descent. I can't imagine having a much greater life, and I don't want to be preoccupied with things that don't matter. But of course, ironically, my two oldest daughters have decided that they're going to be actresses.
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,
