thinking faults boring
I think marriage is a boring and fault-ridden contractual obligation.
children thinking people
I know I was a generic dysfunctional child, but I think a lot of people are.
thinking politician great-things
I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things.
california office body
I'd like to talk to Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'cause I live in California and I just want to see that canned, chemical filled body in my office.
hate russia letters
And I love the hate mail I get, the unsigned, misspelled letters I get telling me to go back to Russia or wherever.
people trying want
I'm not trying to amass people in the streets. I just want them to be more aware.
people watches way
I can deal with people who watch me on stage but I am not good in communicating with people any other way than through my work.
fear remember stage
I can't remember that I ever had just a minute of stage fright.
topics persons left
I guess, topic to topic, you could consider me a left-leaning person.
law mainstream-culture america
What stands out to me in America was all the police vs. citizens turmoil. It's decades of bad policing, bad schooling, racism, bigotry and other factors finally spilling into mainstream culture. I would like to see America evolve on how the laws are enforced on the streets.
unique people culture
Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.
achievement humanity brutality
It is only our humanity that can deliver us from the brutality of our achievements.
friday fighting people
Some people see Black Friday as a much-needed break for their wallet. I see it as retail outlets showing the customers the full weight of their contempt. The frenzy to buy cheap crap from China, the human downgrade of people fighting with each other over items they can probably live without, to me, is an insult.
suicide coffee men
A man with an excruciatingly painful condition wrote me and told me that his doctor said that the only cure for what he has is death, and he might want to consider suicide. What do you say to him? I doubt the, "Hey let's go get some coffee and talk" thing is going to be at all helpful.
