"When I hit Hollywood, it was full-blown. I was a party boy. It amazes me that I made it ... to be able to have led this amazing career when I was out every night.

But now I'm a recovering alcoholic with many years of sobriety."

"Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large federal deficits on the other.
