I was extended secret service protection during my presidential run in 1984 when I received the most death threats ever made toward a candidate.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses and from desires that make us their puppets and from the vagaries of the mind and from the hard service of the flesh.

I'm the one who's dating the craft-service guy instead of the producer. Plus if a producer is going to date a hot young thing I'm probably not the first person on their list - the weird quirky funny girl.

We are constantly protecting the male ego and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.

The criteria for serving one's country should be competence courage and willingness to serve. When we deny people the chance to serve because of their sexual orientation we deprive them of their rights of citizenship and we deprive our armed forces the service of willing and capable Americans.

I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest not just military service.

The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world and we owe them and their families our deepest respect.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

Maybe you are the 'cool' generation If coolness means a capacity to stay calm and use your head in the service of ends passionately believed in then it has my admiration.

I think Al Gore has done a great service in making global warming cool. He's basically taken it from a nerdy almost ignored issue to making it what it is - namely a problem.
