[Martin Luther King] King was a socialist and King was an activist who was really a radical by the end.

Nothing is more boring than some old person going on and on about the way things used to be.

I more or less shared the view that life should be lived.

I was a kid and I studied when I had to [live].

I do think [Barack Obama's] strategy for re-election is so misguided. He's counting on the Republicans to self-destruct, and they might, you know, but they might not. So he might be a one-term president.

You can be disappointed but only if you thought [Barack Obama] was something that he said he wasn't!

It felt to me like I was living my life in a way that didn't make mockery of my values. That's what I intended to do. So, that became a very radicalizing proposition for me.
