Gambling is entertainment. People go to casinos to be entertained.

Casino gambling is colorful and dramatic and theatrical.

If you're a poker player and you show up at a casino at 8 a.m., you're going to be by yourself or with some people that are rocks and just don't give you any action.

I'm not a gambler, let's just say that, nor have I ever been a dealer at a casino.

There is a respectable body of economic thought that holds that casino gambling is actually economically regressive to a state and a community.

I am worried about the potential effect of casinos on communities.

I want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it's meant to be, which is fun and entertaining.

I wanted to disprove the notion that you couldn't open a great restaurant in a casino.

As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think 'actor' and see some easy money.

Wall Street has become a veritable casino.
