I want to see Bob Dylan do sketch comedy. I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan.

With the success of a show, you get an opportunity to call attention to things that you believe in.

The invisible carnage of the unf-ed wives and the children not being read to is just wafting out.

You need to be real enough to be believable, but you don't necessarily have to be real enough to be real. There is a distinction.

Take action. Every story you've ever connected with, every leader you've ever admired, every puny little thing that you've ever accomplished is the result of taking action. You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

My joke about Aaron Sorkin is that The West Wing was a great show about democracy, run by Kim Jong-Il!
