night play actors
When you're doing a play you get to go full speed ahead, all night, in front of an audience. It's a roller-coaster ride, responding to other actors, it feeds you.
nice guy nice-guy
I'm always playing the nice guy in most of the projects that I do.
bent conscience house personally sacrificed seems sudden white
The sudden ending of a White House career all seems so unceremonious for aides who have personally sacrificed a lot - and sometimes even bent their conscience - to do the president's bidding.
cover per segments stick straight wire
When you speak of the press, of course, you have to speak of different segments of the press. Reporters, straight reporters, wire services, you stick to the facts; you don't create the story, per se. You cover what is happening.
agreed anyone certain covered hard hear reagan
All of us who covered the Reagans agreed that President Reagan was personable and charming, but I'm not so certain he was nice. It's hard for me to think of anyone as 'nice' when I hear him say 'The homeless are homeless because they want to be homeless.'
american-journalist covering
I'm covering the worst president in American history.
ultimately
I've never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.
american-journalist
We won't really know what will happen until it happens.
call favor lobbyists open organized states united
We have organized lobbyists in favor of Israel. You can't open your mouth. I can call the president of the United States anything in the book, but if you say one thing about Israel, and you're off limits.
call far great people presidents though
Great presidents take stands, and they fight off these people who really are so far to the right. I don't want to call them names, even though they would call me names.
care president reagan
To my mind, a president should care about all people, and he didn't, which is why I will always feel Reagan lacked soul.
based box certain judgments people supposed
It's fascinating that people, there's so many people now who will make judgments based on what you look like. I'm black. So I'm supposed to think a certain way. I'm supposed to have certain opinions. I don't do that. You don't create a box and put people in and then make a lot of generalizations about them.
catholic minority
I was Catholic. You talk about a minority within a minority within a minority: a black Catholic in Savannah, GA.
cases critics job people respond statements
My job is to write opinions. I decide cases and write opinions. It is not to respond to idiocy and critics who make statements that are unfounded. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have constructive criticisms, but it should be constructive.
