I'm an anglophile. I visit England regularly, sometimes three or four times a year, at least once a year.

Pioneering is never done in front of cheerleaders urging on a roaring grandstand of popular approval.

I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people.

It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.

Yes, I remember the barbed wire and the guard towers and the machine guns, but they became part of my normal landscape. What would be abnormal in normal times became my normality in camp.

We have the history of slavery or inequality to women, and now the civil rights movement of the 21st century is the struggle for equality for the gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. And I think it's important for Americans to know about the times that we failed.

The only thing worse than human ignorance is human pride in that ignorance.
