Good environmental policy is good economic policy.

A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little.

The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.

A fellow with the smallest mind is the one who is usually most willing to give someone a piece of it.

Give more than you get. Everyday. Everywhere. With everyone. Always.

100 million dollars used to be the limit of what a movie might cost; now they routinely cost 300 million. Sooner or later, spectacle is just going to have to find a new way to exist.

Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step.
