Cancer is not a straight line. It's up and down.

What happened after Katrina is that people were stirred to action; there were an enormous number of contributions by people trying to make a difference. But then we forget. We've forgotten Katrina victims, we've forgotten the face of poverty.

Those who need a champion cannot afford compromise, in the face of forces that are powerful, persistent and pernicious and greedy.

The worst thing to me would be that you put on the face you think people want to see, and then they don't like it and you think, Would they have liked the real me?

You know, everybody knows some of what politicians say is malarkey, and having somebody there to call them on it is good. I'd be happy to do that any time and any place.

You never know when something's going to hit you in a particular way and just knock you loose.

I hope I have important things to say.
