Should a small business or a large business be able to pollute the water or the air or the food? No, I hope you don't believe that.

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.

I have nothing to tell except travellers' stories, which are always tiresome, like the description of a play which was very exciting to those who saw it.

Mercury poisoning sounds like a rich man's disease . . . like something you might get from the leather seats in your Lamborghini.

I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.

...people are by nature fickle, and it is easy to persuade them of something, but difficult to keep them persuaded.
