Reactions to the White Paper 1939

Gravity is not the reason that Im anchored in this place It was my decision to not float up that grounded me here.

The American Dream is still alive out there, and hard work will get you there. You don't necessarily need to have an Ivy League education or to have millions of dollars startup money. It can be done with an idea, hard work and determination.

I've been an athlete and competitor my whole life, and there's nothing more that I get off on than competition.

If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.

When you feel an audience engaged and surprised and enthusiastic, reacting to what you've planned, that is the reward. It's better than the Emmys.

No human thing is of serious importance.

The darkest thing about Africa has always been our ignorance of it.

A new job is like a blank book and you are the author.

You think I am a fool, but you are a greater fool than I am.

I've done classical theaters. I played Hamlet myself and Romeo.

The disquieting news of Danny Villanueva's death brought back memories of our time together at KNBC in the early 1970s.

Personally I'm hoping to spend the last years of my life plugged into a real life MMORPG simulation that makes me think and feel like I'm 18 again while my 90 year old body lies in a tube somewhere getting fed thru an IV. Be a great way to finish up a life.

I like characters who are contradictory.

If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.
