We're in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn't want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics, versus on its own merits. I can respect that.

I've done plenty of daredeviling - from white-water rafting to bungee jumping. But I think the most fearless was hosting the Emmy Awards. It was overwhelming, and I definitely had to leave fear at the door.

I'm happy to have my own opinion and air it when I think it's necessary.

There's just a natural instinct to want to be great, I think.

I think I owe it to myself to put my best effort forward and prove how good I can be.

I think of myself as no more than 60. What I could do at 60, I can still do now.
