I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.

You can't judge the present by the past. Each day is different, and you live it differently.

Hillary Clinton is still - she's such a private person.

Prospects of normalizing our relations with Russia look good.

If you stop struggling, then you stop life.

I love anything that gets me outside of my own head.

I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.

When you're a regular on your show, that's your family. When people come in and out, it doesn't mean that you don't embrace them, but they have to leave.

Observations indicate that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. It will expand forever, getting emptier and darker.
