Any [political] party without principles is rudderless and passive.

Al Gore's performances could be a case study in abnormal-psychology classes.

Bill Clinton was a liberal who could appeal to conservative-leaning Bubba voters.

Comedians still make fun of Bill's out-of-control appetites, but with Hillary, the mockery is about how she lets nothing be out of control.

There's no wobble in Bush. If anything, the opposite. Right after hello, the next words out of his mouth are: I've never been more convinced that the decisions I made are the right decisions.

In person, George W. Bush is extremely forceful. He has a restless energy when he sits in a chair, and nearly leaps out of it when making certain points.

Almost all political campaigns involve falsity and playacting.

Message to Obama: Fighting the Clinton machine won't be as easy as picking up favorable press clips.

People will sooner aid a sick dog lying on the sidewalk than to try to find shelter for a sick person. It's too much to deal with.

My friends say everything I touch turns to gold. I'll say, 'I've been very lucky.

I want to get people to connect to the outdoors.

I mean yeah, your individual style is your impression to the world.

Most of the fans of John Lennon and maybe John and Yoko are younger than me.
