Whether you know Jack Ryan or you don't know Jack Ryan, he's a compelling person to spend time with.

Ryan is an amazing person. When I was his age, I wasn't thinking about giving someone a kidney. How do you ever repay someone for something like that? You can't. It's not like borrowing $20 from someone and telling them you're going to give it back. It's something that you can never repay someone for.

Ryan is my bridge to the past, to memories that lose some of their sting when he recounts them.

Ryan finally came to my rescue. He'd thought working together in Paper Moon would help us bond.

I remained Ryan's companion on the Hollywood party circuit, growing inured to sex and drugs before I was in my teens.

When I met Paul Ryan 22 years ago, he was a student at Miami of Ohio volunteering on my campaign.

I want to take Ryan Seacrest's job. I want his job on 'American Idol.'

I love working with great actors.

I actually like working with the other three actors on the show.

And when I retired, trust me, not only did Nolan Ryan, but the entire Ryan family had withdrawals from baseball. And it was tough.
