I'm old enough to know that a red carpet's just a rug, and I've been able to enjoy the pageantry without letting it go to my head.

George W. Bush promised us a foreign policy with humility. Instead, he has brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world. He promised to restore honor and integrity to the White House. Instead, he has brought deep dishonor to our country and built a durable reputation as the most dishonest president since Richard M. Nixon.

I see myself in the mold of Rin Tin Tin. It didn't go to his head either.

We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there.

Every day we put another 110 million tons of global warming pollution into the sky as if it's an open sewer, and it's still building up. And the scientists tell us it's a race against time. We've stabilized emissions globally now for the last three years, but they need to start coming down quickly. We've got the momentum, we've got the wind in our sails, we're gonna win this.

It's as if we think the laws of physics are subject to debate and amendment and political contributions can sway the laws of physics.

The truth about the climate crisis is still inconvenient for the large carbon polluters and the politicians who are in their pockets.
