To them, the real United States is just flyover country.

Diabetes affects my family. One of my kids is affected by it.

On my visits back home, if they saw that I was getting a big head, they'd let me know right away.

After all, at end of the day, when you're breathing your last, it's not your producer, director, or cast mates by your bedside; it's your children. Keep that in mind.

I'd never been to acting school, so I never thought I'd get this far.

To them, the real United States is just flyover country.

Hollywood has lost touch with their audience a long time ago.

I'm concerned about the insidious influence of the media's bad messages that undermine the lessons parents try to instill in their sons and daughters.

I've turned down projects based on raunchiness before.

I have been raising money for the past 14 years for diabetes research.

There are times over different projects when I've asked the writers why people are swearing for no good reason. I tell them that it would be funnier if there weren't these swear words.

I started improvising the Cliff character, based on someone I grew up with.

I come from Bridgeport, Connecticut and have friends I grew up with there.

Two days later I got a call that they wanted to try out the character for seven episodes. Eleven years and 22 Emmys later, Cliff was still sitting at that bar.

I always played a soldier, sailor, or policemen.

It appalls me that the people who decide what Americans will be watching on the tube have never been to the United States. Not the real United States.

So many actors have sheer guts, will, and determination; they just need some preparation.

Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.

They need to be re-supplied with energy, and that energy comes from asking not what your country can do for you, but from what you can do for your country.

From what I can see, too many kids don't learn pride in their country anymore.

Find people who share your values, and you'll conquer the world together.

The last thing on my mind was to be an actor, but I had a crush on a cute girl in the drama department, so the best thing for me to do was audition, help out, do carpentry, whatever it took to get me on that project.

In fact, my son learned his first swear word from E.T. at age five. The way I look at it, E.T. stole a bit of my son's childhood.

A farce, or slapstick humor, does well universally.

In L.A., though, people get off busses calling themselves actors, so many are really not professionals.

You've got to write for your audience.

Before 1972, no actors got residuals. They just got paid. No residuals.

When I go to the garage to pick up my clubs, I clean the spider webs off.

The pollution they produce, market, sell, and show to billions around the world is at its core contemptuous of the country that gave them better lives than nearly 100 percent of everybody who's ever lived. And they pass that contempt along for everyone to see.

You'll be tested every single day.

But from what I can see all around me today, that America is fading fast, if it's not already gone.

There are technologies you couldn't predict at all when I started.

So many people aren't ready for Hollywood - professionally or practically.

But like the rest of the country, Maine has reached an impasse, for most of the mercury that fouls our skies, waters and land comes from outside our borders.

Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.

For a country to have a great writer is like having another government. That's why no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

Then, in that hour of deliverance, my heart spoke. Does not such a country, and such defenders of their country, deserve a song?

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

It may be shocking to some people in this country to realize that, without meaning to do so, they hold views in common with Hitler when they preach discrimination against other religious, racial or economic groups.

So, for example, a country was into recession right after I was sworn in, a dot-com bust had taken place. Then the attacks of September the 11th, and then of course the great financial meltdown in the -the fundamental question facing any presidency is how do you deal with the hand you're dealt?

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

The day cold and fair with a high easterly wind: we were visited by two Indians who gave us an account of the country and people near the Rocky mountains where they had been.

It was clear that the special interest groups in California really wanted the Chinese to be shut out of the country, because that was where the racial tension was the greatest.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

To stop terrorists before the strike, we must do three things: deny them entry into the country, curtail their freedom of action inside the country, and deprive them of material and moral support from within the country.
