I don't TWEET a lot because I've Tweeted THINGS that I thought were REALLY innocuous about subjects that are inflammatory, and the response is so insane sometimes from people.

I GREW up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a BIT miffed with our current love affair with all THINGS Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I'd no sooner TAKE that than eat a PENCIL. Maybe that's why I took up boxing. It's my response to men in white pajamas feeling each other's chi.

We've GOT to understand that the ages of zero to THREE are the most formative years of a PERSON's life, the time they learn the concept of reward and punishment and DEVELOP a conscience, and that 50 percent of all learned human response is learned in the first YEAR of life.

Violence and nonviolence are, after all, two different forms of THEATER. They both DEPEND and thrive on the response of an AUDIENCE.

With ACTING, the response is usually DELAYED and TAKES time, unlike with SINGING, from where I instantly GET fans' response.

It's KIND of DEPRESSING to make a lot of records and not GET the kind of RESPONSE they deserve.

The CLIMATE is much DIFFERENT for men. That stigma is only going to be broken when PEOPLE come out and SEE that there is a positive RESPONSE. That doesn't mean there will be no negative response, but if people can have the courage to be one of the first, which is very hard, those barriers can be broken down very quickly.
