The big lie is that the people who make a lot of money were the only ones that worked hard.

I don't sense an [Barack] Obama party. I think politics is transactional for him.

I know, when I look into the eyes of my own children, the look of wonder when I speak of life back in the '60s. That's why the Rolling Stones are such a hit even in their 60s, why Dennis Hopper is so compelling, even when he's making pitches for something unhip as long-term financial planning.

I think, internally, we Catholics have known this for a long time. I think we're just thrilled and grateful that the rest of the world now is sharing in the esteem and gratitude that we've had for Pope John Paul II for 26 and a half years.

His [John Paul II] humanity, combined with his extraordinary spiritual authority, was unlike anything I've ever met.

Pope John Paul II is the great. Only two other popes had that title. Does that suggest there is going to be a move for canonization?

That is the voice of God because its the voice of truth and experience.
