Nothing gets a bigger laugh than when you refer to things like ethics or human rights.

For about the first ten years of my career, I wasn't terribly motivated.

I'm a 9/11 Republican.

It's not like I'm the most famous person in the world

I kind of have a dilettantish spirit about me

I think you have an obligation to be an optimist. Because if you're not, nothing will change

But why should I run for office and lose what little influence I have?
