All over the US, there is a need to teach young people to, really, get them out in the backyard, building treehouses, fixing bicycles, because you become a better, more well-rounded, Renaissance personality if you actually know how to do things with your hands. If you can fix the screen door or replace your old garbage disposal, even change the tire on a car, a lot of people don't even know how to do that. We're literally running out of people who know how to do those things, the essential things like plumbing, carpentry, stone masonry, we're literally running out of them.

But from what I can see all around me today, that America is fading fast, if it's not already gone.

Diabetes affects my family. One of my kids is affected by it.

A farce, or slapstick humor, does well universally.

I mean, Cheers [from the Star Wars] was just a job while we were doing it. All of us were really only hustling to pay the rent, weren't we.

I don't know that I ever did see Star Wars as any different. I was certainly proud that I did it.

Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.
