We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.

We are perhaps uniquely among the earth's creatures the worrying animal. We worry away our lives fearing the future discontent with the present unable to take in the idea of dying unable to sit still.

I knew I could not cope with the future unless I was able to rediscover the past.

I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

Young people can get very discouraged and get hooked on drugs or on alcohol because of problems they perceive as insurmountable. It is important that they realize a mistake need not ruin their future but they must also know that not everything in life is a bed of roses.

We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'

Don't forget what I discovered that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past present and future wars.

There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.

Without hurting anybody we all tend to laugh at others' discomfort. When someone slips on a banana skin and falls it's funny.

You have to discover when you're inadequate to be funny and you don't know you're inadequate when you're a kid.
