Every time I teach a class, I discover I don't know something.

Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.

You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language.

When I dance, it's incredible. I can't describe it, there's no words. You just tap into your mojo and you just go.

Live close, visit often.

A politician is required to listen to humbug, talk humbug, condone humbug. The most we can hope for is that we don't actually believe it.
