Gary Johnson
American Politician
We should be open to a discussion on keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. I don't know how that manifests itself, but I'm looking to get elected president of the United States. I just want to let people know I have an open mind about how we might - how government might - interject itself in a lot of the problems we have.

Bryan Cranston
American Actor

Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works.
