I'm a little bit too obsessed with the news. I find the news easier to follow than narrative entertainment programs.

You can truly grieve for every officer who's been lost in the line of duty in this country, and still be troubled by cases of police overreach.

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

There are a hell of a lot of jobs that are scarier than live comedy. Like standing in the operating room when a guy's heart stops, and you're the one who has to fix it!

I really like to put my name on everything, so my roommate doesn't steal it. It's really a throwback to that.

I don't know what you mean, but I know that you mean it.(attrib: 'Edward', Appendix 2)

Schools cannot shut their gates and leave the outside world on the doorstep.

I'm still a political revolutionary. The fire never went out of me, but perceptions and realizations change.

God does not love some ideal person, but rather human beings just as we are, not some ideal world, but rather the real world.

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

I have trouble with direction, because I have trouble with authority. I was not a good Marine.

Oil prices jumped to well over $100 a barrel, and analysts say it's due to tension in the Middle East. So, luckily, it's just a temporary thing.

The flute is a weird instrument, especially when played solo.

Congress's definition of torture in those laws - the infliction of severe mental or physical pain - leaves room for interrogation methods that go beyond polite conversation.

Going back is a nice way to give definition to each of the characters because they are so vastly different. I would never want them to get blended together.
