Not a single piece of material culture - not a single object - has been found at Giza that can be interpreted to come from a lost civilization.

As scientists, we keep an open mind, but we have to base our ideas about the past on archaeological evidence.

Two hundred and fifty mummies covered in gold. Something like this cannot be explained - mummy after mummy covered in shining gold.

I am saying pornography hurts anyone who reads it, garbage in, garbage out.

I was in the middle of a crossroads, which is a nice way of saying crisis, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You know the physical part. We just talked about it.

The finest command of language is often shown by saying nothing.

A lot of things that I can't get into the room for, even just to be seen, is because they're just saying 'No. they're not casting non-white.' You're lumped into a category with people who are just not white.
