The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.
I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100 000 elevator.
I'm Jewish. I don't work out. If God had wanted us to bend over He would have put diamonds on the floor.
I don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over he would have put diamonds on the floor.
If God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor.
If you ever get rich and famous by definition you are special. You have done something special and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out and you become down and out you have a really new perspective.
I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start but where you're going. That's family values.
The Oval Office symbolizes... the Constitution the hopes and dreams and I'm going to say democracy. And when you have a dress code in the Supreme Court and a dress code on the floor of the Senate floor of the House I think it's appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the President.
I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It's been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom 3 years old every day 'I can fly!' Living on the ninth floor it was dangerous.
My dad and my uncles owned a bar outside of Cincinnati. I worked there growing up mopping floors waiting tables.
