I continually remind myself to live by a code. It's very important to me. I've got a bad temper.

Horror jolts me when I look at one of you and see a pair of beautiful eyes that make me think your mind might contain a world that could hold me as the bolts shake loose and fly from my frame.

I'm mellower now, I'm over 50. But I don't think I'm too mellow. I'm still angry at a lot of things.

I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride.

For myself, I can't understand a life without a job. I don't know what I would do without employment. Retirement is out of the question for me.

The more you own, the more it owns you.

I would like to get out to the region in the Caspian sea. I would like to go there. I would like to get to Darfur. I would like to get to Khartoum in Northern Sudan. I would like to get to Zimbabwe. I would like to go back to North Korea, if I could. I would like to go to Yemen. I would like to get to Kashmir. Most of those destinations I will get to.
