Obama is now fighting for his life. He's fighting for a federal government. I believe in a federal government. I hope it sticks around. We had the American Revolution. There was this whole tension between the federalists and the anti-federalists. Then we had the Civil War. We had Lincoln fighting for it. And the secessionists were there. And we have the same issue today.

I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me; people over 45.

We have enormous challenges in front of us.

If we [Americans] are a strong people, a united people, why do we always have to hear how great we are? What is this self-love? Where does this come from? It got worse, because after the war we thought we'd won it. That's the first myth. Frankly, Russia won it. The Soviet Union sacrificed far greater form than anyone else to win that war. Secondly, we had the atomic bomb. We should not have dropped it on Japan. We did as an example to the Soviets, not to defeat Japan and to save American lives. These are myths that we explode with a lot of research early on.

We all know what we know. We experience with our minds and breath.

I've changed my style constantly, so I'm not sure I have one defined style, except perhaps style of subject matter.

I'd rather get past the tyranny of now, where you get judged for something based on what's happening at the moment.
