To restore America we need less Marx and more Madison.

I'm the whitest guy you will ever meet. The first time I saw an African-American, my dad had to tell me to stop staring.

I wasn't just pro-choice, I was pro-everything, until I started taking everything off the table and began looking at things and asking if this view was consistent with that view.

I could give a flying crap about the political process. We're an entertainment company.

When you aren't drinking or using drugs or spending lots of money on fancy toys or basking in the glow of fame or working all the time or eating your way through the refrigerator, being hateful and angry is a very handy shield from the truth. It lets you focus on everyone else's shortcomings, and all the ways they have let you down. You can bemoan how all these broken people keep finding you somehow. That way you don't have to focus on what really matters -- the tough work of fiing what is broken inside you.

Americans also don't need to be taught how to give. We don't need to be taught how to take care of each other or how to be charitable.

It's a different world we're going into but it's all based on the Internet. It's all based on these connections. If you start limiting the connections, you're going backwards as a society.
