I'm not trying to achieve perfection. I don't like this forced control people have over work.

A moustache to a man is the same as a fringe is to a woman. When you've got it, you want to grow it out; when you've grown it out, you want to cut it.

My favourite things are jokes, friendliness and feeling comfortable.

There were good places and bad places to tell stories and there were of course stories that could not be told in any place on earth and these were reserved for heaven.

If a tattoo is supposed to make a statement, that kid’s body is just plain babbling.

Tis no shame to follow the better precedent.

Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.

The old will die and the young will forget.

Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important.

One of the nuisances of the ballot is that when the oracle has spoken you never know what it means.

The notion that journalism can regularly produce a product that violates the fundamental interests of media owners and advertisers ... is absurd.

I would say both Western psychology and Eastern paths would recognize that we get caught up in feeling like a separate self and an unworthy self.
