I think that capitalism in general is responsible, not for the worldwide recession, but for a lot of suffering, both in the United States and around the world.

A newspaper is a public trust, and we will suffer as a society without them. It is not the Internet that has killed them. It is their own greed, it is their own stupidity, and it is capitalism that has taken our daily newspapers from us.

There's been almost a dozen films that have been made against me. There's actually more films made attacking me than films I've made.

There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them.

Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.

I assume everything I'm saying in an email or saying on the telephone is being looked at.

As a quiet salute to Beavis and Butthead, I held up my index finger and thumb in an "L"-the international sign for loser.
