I was not a public - I was not a thinker. I was a doer.

I'm angry at what's happening to America and angry with myself that I can't do more. I would be miserable if I couldn't bear witness.

Plutocracy too long tolerated leaves democracy on the auction block, subject to the highest bidder.

Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.

Charity provides crumbs from the table; justice offers a place at the table.

Unless you're willing to fight and refight the same battles until you go blue in the face, drive the people you work with nuts going over every detail to make certain you've got it right, and then take hit after unfair hit accusing you of bias, there's no use even trying. You have to love it, and I do. You just hope it strikes a spark somewhere in the critical mass of public opinion and helps some people to resist further the seductions of political and corporate advertising.

I'm the front man, I'm the man on camera, but there's a whole team beyond me.
