beautiful people tree
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against.
beautiful men years
Hollywood is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.
home car trying
Yes, Americans can still get credit for cars and trucks and refrigerators, and those businesses are doing well. But just try to get a home loan now.
law rights done
We are not supposed to be all equal. Let's just forget that. We are supposed to have equal rights under law. If we do that, we have done enough.
seems ifs
I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.
mean animal breathing
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
helping-others matter helping
Life lived to help others is the only life that matters.
lines inquiry scientist
I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.
No one will do it for you.
children mean people
But when I talk to people who are Darwinists or evolutionists and say, 'Well, how did life begin' -- they're...they don't have an answer. I mean, they have an answer, but it's a BS answer. It's an answer that wouldn't make sense to a small child.
broke has-beens
I spend so much time in fear of going broke, and I never have been even remotely close to going broke.
media people faults
We in the media are just people with all of people's faults.
hopeful
It's a lot better to hope than not to.
lying airplane virginia
My 'thing' is that I just lie in my immense bed and look out the window at the skyline over Virginia and the sky and the airplanes coming into Reagan. I really love doing that.
