Kurt Russell

We are in a democratic society. It's our job to question.

My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.

I know I come off differently than I think of myself. I'm always surprised by what people say about me.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.
