I have concluded that the U.N. can do a few things well.

My neighbor is now an 18-wheeler who comes by here 1,000 times a day.

As a Republican, I voted with President Clinton consistently in our efforts to bail out our European friends in Kosovo to stop genocide. I am proud of those votes. I am proud of President Clinton for that.

The American people are being victimized more than any free market would warrant.

In my day, the players used to work their socks off. It's all changed now, obviously.

Newspapers across the country and the world have published cartoons that have gone beyond reasonable differences of opinion and expanded into the realm of antisemitism.

I have concluded that the U.N. can do a few things well.

The only way to ensure that our promise to provide every opportunity for students with disabilities, and help them achieve their full potential, is to give our schools the dollars they need.

We have some control over when we retire. However, we have very little control over how long we will live.

We have a rare and perhaps small window of opportunity to set partisan differences aside, and attempt to achieve what many in recent years have felt was unreachable - greater retirement security for ourselves and our children.

A lot of things people see as innovative are faddish and fleeting, and I'm simply telling you, staying power like broadcasting has is more important in the end than the latest app you can download.

Broadcasting's best days lie ahead as both an engine of local economies and as an integral part of tomorrow's technological world.

Business deals are successfully negotiated every day throughout America. The common thread is a mutual desire to reach an accord. And the media business is no different.

For years, broadcasters didn't get a nickel out of retransmission consent. But broadcast content is what the cable industry was selling to customers.

History shows that pay-TV subscribers flee in droves to alternative providers when there is even a rare service disruption - demonstrating a quantifiable value for 'must-have' broadcast programming.

I never thought Oregon would elect to the U.S. Senate a Mormon, but it did.

I think I have over 60 apps on my iPhone. I use six.

I wish there were a healthier Republican Party in the state of Oregon.

If policymakers are serious about avoiding a society of TV 'haves and have-nots,' they should refrain from policies that favor pay-TV operators over the providers of our nation's only free and local communications system: over-the-air broadcasting.

Lawmakers have good reason to want a healthy broadcast industry. Broadcast TV stations provide more than 186,000 jobs on an annual basis, which directly generate more than $30 billion in economic activity.

Local television is still the No. 1 source for news and part of the family.

My mother always said, 'The best way to ruin a story is to tell the other side.'

On issues carrying as much emotional freight as race - and there aren't many - a U.S. senator needs to speak with care and consistency. Otherwise, he could find people speaking at his own retirement tribute.

Radio continues to be the very best advertising music performers have. No one who ever grabbed a Grammy got there without radio.

The people who depend on an antenna are often those who are underprivileged - the elderly and the disadvantaged who can't afford a $200-a-month cable bill.

We take our kids for physical vaccinations, dental exams, eye checkups. When do we think to take our - our son or daughter for a mental health checkup?

When there's an emergency weather situation, the local broadcaster is the source of information that often makes the difference between life and death.

These two staples of work life - meetings and managers - are actually the greatest causes of work not getting done at the office. In fact, the further away you are from both meetings and managers, the more work gets done.

I've got to hear the rhythm of the sentences; I want the music of the prose. I want to see ordinary things transformed not by the circumstances in which I see them but by the language with which they're described. That's what I love when I read.

Nobody would let us do 'Crisis' again.

I didn't give myself enough love, so I was searching for it in other places, and it was a never ending struggle.

I don't commit to things unless I have my A-team to do it. And I'm not trying to be cocky, but that shows in my productions. They are top notch!

They never were planning to be here. All my family are going to London because they wanted to go to the big one. There was never any showdown - there wouldn't be.

Singing evokes the temple of the soul.

There is no religion that was founded on intolerance - and no religion that does not value the sanctity of human life.

France now has a new president and he must be respected. I assume full responsibility for this defeat.

We cant do everything with a budget but we can put the country on much sounder financial footing.

I'm a little younger than these guys, but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original 'MacGyver' series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for 'MacGruber.'

Difficulties are opportunities to better things, they are stepping stones to greater experience. Perhaps some day you will be thankful for some temporary failure in a particular direction. When one door closes, another always opens, as a natural law it has to be, to balance.

I would never do 'Stardust Memories' because I don't particularly like that kind of movie - that would be why I wouldn't do that.

Ever since I read 'Kitchen Confidential,' I saw a little light bulb go off. Being a chef is like being on a pirate ship; it's not like 'Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?' or whatever my impression was as I was growing up.

There is no substitute for hard work when it comes to achieving success.

To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.

Give the enemy not only a road for flight, but also a means of defending it.

Murder begins where self-defense ends.

I suppose it hacks me off sometimes when people go on about all the other stuff, because I have really worked hard at my game, and I've been incredibly dedicated in getting myself fit, and getting my game right.

So often, when we don't have people that can be representative or symbolic of leadership and of faith, of purpose, in that absence we become bitter and resentful.

For a true disciple, the repetition of the mantra is like food.

In New York one lives in the moment rather more than Socrates advised, so that at a party or alone in your room it will always be difficult to guess at the long term worth of anything.
