When there are starving people in the world, it seems wrong that so many of us Americans eat as much for entertainment as for nourishment.

The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

I've learned that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I spent my first 50 years trying to become known as a writer and the next 30 trying to avoid being famous. I walk down the street or go to a football game and people shout, 'Hey Andy'. I hate that.

It's ridiculous for a country to get all worked up about a game—except the Super Bowl, of course. Now that's important.

Some people who hated Americans set out to kill a lot of us and they succeeded [on 9/11]....We're trying to protect ourselves with more weapons. We have to do it, I guess, but it might be better if we figured out how to behave as a nation in a way that wouldn't make so many people in the world want to kill us.

Unfortunately, propaganda works.
