- And I miss my home because I'm beginning to get scared shitless. Because all of a sudden it's closer to the end than it is to the beginning. And death is suddenly a perceptible thing to me with definable features.

- You're dealing with a man that has primal doubts, Diana, and you've got to cope with it.

- I'm not some guy discussing male menopause on the Barbara Walters Show.

- I'm the man that you presumably love. I'm part of your life. I live here. I'm real. You can't switch to another station.

- Well, what exactly is it you want me to do?
