I auditioned for 'Cats' - I didn't sing but I was able to cough up a hairball.

You don't have to think exactly like me. When people go, "I don't agree with everything you say," you know what, if you agree with everything anyone says, you're an idiot.

I don't know how many times a phone call or e-mail starts with, "I don't agree with anything you say but you're funny as hell so I listen to your show, I love your show."

You don't have to be straight. You just have to shoot straight.

Fox succeeds because it's entertaining. It's like a rightwing freak show.

I was actually abandoned by wolves and then raised by Republicans.

My politics just kind of developed over time as a reaction.

Is it possible that more black people hate the President than are actually alive?

I like fighters. That's why I love Russ Feingold. I love Barbara Boxer. And Howard Dean and John Conyers. Democrats I talk to around the country want their leaders to come out and fight for them.

This is so sexist. I mean, are we really going to put this as a standard of something we are going to judge our presidential candidates by?

Rush Limbaugh, whether you hate him or not, he's a great entertainer; he's a great broadcaster.

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

The wave of memory had submerged me for a whole minute, while I'd just sat staring and let it all come flooding back.

If I knew where poems came from, I'd go there.

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

It disturbed me that the music industry had gone down the drain, even though people were listening to more music than ever and from a greater diversity of artists.

Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration?

I never take counsel of my fears.

The essence of true nobility is neglect of self. Let the thought of self pass in, and the beauty of a great action is gone, like the bloom from a soiled flower.

So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference.

The young doctor should look about early for an avocation, a pastime, that will take him away from patients, pills, and potions.
