Somewhere in the land, a monster lurked.

All of us, whether or not we're celebrities, every one ought to spend part of their life making someone else's life better.

I like the idea that there's no censorship, because it's consistent with my views that we live in a free society and people ought to be able to express their views.

I'm liberal, but I watch the three majors. Obviously I watch MSNBC, also CNN and Fox, which is what I would call ridiculously to the right.

I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.

I don't live in Hollywood. I don't have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don't pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.

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.
