I'm a true reactionary. Like all patricians, I'd like to restore the original republic, which we lost 40 years ago when Harry Truman imposed the national security state on us, which has kept us at war, hot or cold, for almost half a century, and it's got us $4 trillion into debt.

Traitors who prevail are patriots; usurpers who succeed are divine emperors.

Somebody has to keep score and I decided I was going to do it. I'm a born score-keeper and I realize, like an umpire, that my decisions may cause distress.

Celebrities are invariably celebrity-mad, just as liars always believe liars.

I was born a writer. When that happens, you have no choice in the matter.
