It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.

I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.

TV is a huge draw. It's a magnet. Even when I was a policeman, if I was on a police scene and the news showed up, I'd race home to see if I would be on TV for 2 seconds!

I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don't. What we [America] did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism - and by doing what we did in Iraq, we've managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism.

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.

I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

I'm in shape, but only if you consider a circle a shape.
