It's usually only the intellectual ones who understand what's going on in what I do.

Personally, people know themselves very poorly.

I do love playing aristocrats, probably because it's so against type. So much more interesting than playing a version of yourself.

People are surprised to find out that an awful lot of people think that they're idiots.

I know a lot of people think I'm dumb. Well, at least I ain't no educated fool.

People sometimes think I'm sort of all-knowing.

People generally pay attention to what they already know about and what they care about.

I've learned that usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am.

If you go and talk to most people, they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth on education, of knowledge of understanding what the real issues are and therefore they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they are supposed to think and they keep repeating that until pretty soon they say, 'Oh, well that must be true.'

I actually don't think that I'm that much smarter than anybody else. It's just that I frequently just seem to know what to do, and I think that's wisdom.
