I abhor grades - if a child does his best, that's all that should be asked.

About 30 million people see me every week - I'm a happy man.

I abhor grades - if a child does his best, that's all that should be asked.

There were people I know that got upset that I kiss people. I kiss them for luck and love, that's all. That's what my mother did to me.

'Hogan's Heroes' lasted longer than the war.

And I asked my mother about it; I said, 'Is there something wrong?' She said, 'God... God makes people. You understand that, don't you?' And I said, 'Yeah!' She said, 'Who makes a rainbow?" I said, 'God.' She said, 'I never presumed to tell anyone who could make a rainbow what color to make children.'

Be nice to each other. You can make a whole day a different day for everybody.

God bless all the little children in the world.

I never dreamed I would have a job in which so many people could touch me and I could touch them.

I've had the most incredible luck in my career.

If I never do another thing, I've met the good, sweet people of the world.

It's important to me that on 'Family Feud' I could kiss all the people. It sounds crazy but when I first came here Petula Clark was on a show with Nat King Cole and he kissed her on the cheek and eighty-one stations in the South canceled him. I kissed black women daily and nightly on 'Family Feud' and the world didn't come to an end, did it?

It's wonderful to win, but don't get cocky about it!

The first time I ever saw people of any color was when D-Day left from my hometown in England, to go and free Europe from the war. And there was every color you could imagine, and I'd not seen that in England.

The thing that I loved about 'Feud,' we froze a moment in time for these families that had never occurred before. That's magic.

There were people I know that got upset that I kissed people; I kissed them for luck and love, that's all. That's what my mother did to me. There were people upset that I would embrace or hug someone of another color.

They kept us on the air probably a year more than they should have.

You wouldn't want to move if you sat next to me on the bus. Or maybe you would.

I'm best when I'm feral, when I don't wash or shave or change my trousers for a couple of weeks.

I used to love fine dining, but I lost my appetite for it to a degree because sometimes it is too much about the effort and too little about the result.

'Humans of New York' is basically somebody walking up to absolute strangers on the street every day and, within minutes, talking with them about very personal things. Some things they haven't even told their best friends or family members.

Equally inured by moderation either state to bear, prosperous or adverse.

Creation stories, so central in the religions of the Middle East, play a surprisingly marginal part in Greek myth. The Greeks had nothing to set alongside the resounding 'In the beginning' in the book of Genesis, where one eternal God creates the universe out of nothing.

I still have the same friends I've had for the last 15 or 20 years.

This experience has been once in a lifetime.

We had gone out on the road in 94 and 95 for a three month American tour, and we realised, as did our manager and booking agent at the time, that we have really exhausted it, and we can't make money at this anymore.

I love 'I Love Lucy,' and I have the DVD set of 'I Love Lucy.'

My own foundation concentrates on women's economic empowerment on the basis that if women have their own money and are able to support themselves, they can make choices about what happens to them in their lives, about whether they have education, whether they get married, and what happens to their children.

There's nothing more fun than making fun of what's sacred.

But when we place God on our side of things, that we are now ridding the world of evil - that's very dangerous, that one nation has this role to rid the world of evil. What about the evil we have committed, that we are complicit in?

I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can 'pray away the gay;' I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do; I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it's okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean.

I was a Versace perfume girl at Saks Fifth Avenue, and Rihanna actually came up to the counter and asked for something. And she wouldn't even take her sunglasses off! She was so mean to me. Not mean, but, like, guarded. I don't blame her, though.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

Newspapers and their editors have to become as accountable as the rest of us - they are not 'a special case,' and they have only themselves to blame for having lost the argument for 'exceptionalism' - and with it the right to 'self-regulation.'

When Tom Morello picks up the guitar, I'm sure what he sees is totally different from what I do, but I love the way he plays.

Most actors will tell you that villains are the most interesting to play.

With other people, you're always swapping music. Somebody is always listening to something you've never heard. It's a great way to hear all sorts of new things.

I consider myself a human being, a Christian, a father, a husband, so many things, before being a black person.

I was eleven and I wanted to play it because it was in my blood. It was a feeling I couldn't deny.

Cancer is WAY too serious to be taken seriously all the time.

I have been constantly shaping and reshaping my career. I laid a foundation by doing respectful work in all media. And I am happy with what I have done.

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives to terrorist attacks inside Pakistan, and thousands more will - because, unlike the Pakistani government, which has no coherent policy to deal with the radicals, the Taliban have one to deal with Pakistan and its citizens.
