Anything that reduces war-related destruction should not be considered altogether immoral.

Risk-taking is the essence of innovation.

Because of new technologies, new wealth, new conditions of domestic life and of international relations, unprecedented criteria and issues are coming up for national decision.

Deterrence itself is not a preeminent value; the primary values are safety and morality.

Authority is not power; that's coercion. Authority is not knowledge; that's persuasion, or seduction. Authority is simply that the author has the right to make a statement and to be heard.

My guess is that nuclear weapons will be used sometime in the next hundred years, but that their use is much more likely to be small and limited than widespread and unconstrained.

I'm against ignorance. I'm against sloppy, emotional thinking. I'm against fashionable thinking. I am against the whole cliché of the moment.

Nuclear war is such an emotional subject that many people see the weapons themselves as the common enemy of humanity.

The objective of nuclear-weapons policy should not be solely to decrease the number of weapons in the world, but to make the world safer - which is not necessarily the same thing.

A total nuclear freeze is counterproductive - especially now, when technology is rapidly changing and the Soviets have some important strategic advantages.

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

I do lots of crowd work in my set, because I enjoy writing material through riffing and conversation.

Everything must be sacrificed, if necessary, for that one sentiment: universality.

I don't wanna be a rock star. I don't believe in rock stars. If you really examine what goes with being a rock star, I've avoided that really well.

I think my new iPhone 5S is broken. I pressed the home button and I'm still at work
