Permanent remorse about failing to do your human duty, in my opinion, can be worse than losing your life.

Too often, when people are in trouble they look for scapegoats.

Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.
