I'm a civic busybody and I've been blessed with an active career.

Facebook itself has an interest in having great content so that its users keep coming back.

I was involved in the civil rights movement way back in the late '50s and through the '60s and '70s. I was doing a civil rights musical here in Los Angeles and we sang at one of the rallies where Dr. Martin Luther King spoke, and I remember the thrill I felt when we were introduced to him. To have him shake your hand was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Even before I could vote, I was involved in the political arena.

As you know, when Star Trek was canceled after the second season, it was the activism of the fans that revived it for a third season.

Today we have the economic collapse that the whole planet is suffering, but there is hope, and that's what's going to keep us moving ahead.

I think we learn more from those times in our history where we stumbled as a democracy than we learn from the glorious chapters.

You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.
