I find celebrity status difficult to bear when I am in the company of my mother.

I believe celebrity spoils people - some worse than others.

In a network situation, a vice president, while he's shaving, can decide your history.

Television is not the exclusive target of promoters. Is Superman really worthy of a Newsweek cover?

We [in USA] have people honestly believing that, if a president calls a war, you have to shut up and sing. That is not the nation my mother raised me to pledge my allegiance to. We should speak out. We sent thousands of Americans to foreign battlefields to protect our way of life, which includes free speech. If you're not going to use it, it's already lost. We'll find a Mussolini who will tell us what's good for us.

The biggest threat to this country isn't the Russians. It's our own inability to make democracy or capitalism work.

Spanking and verbal criticism have become, to many parents, more important tools of child rearing than approval.
