Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship we are two very different people but we did share a sense of humor we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.

I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically we get three mandates: to love God to love each other and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.

I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.

We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.

I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea.

We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
