Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.

We do not commonly see in a tax a diminution of freedom and yet it clearly is one.

When you're starting out as an actor there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.

If newspapers were a baseball team they would be the Mets - without the hope for those folks at the very pinnacle of the financial food chain - who average nearly $24 million a year in income - 'next year.'

Clearly America's dysfunctional food culture must bear some of the blame for our excess pounds but it's likely our walking-averse lifestyles contribute as well.

Food during my early years was a very difficult issue for me. I grew up in an addictive family. My mother had serious problems with alcohol and prescription drugs. I was an overweight kid. I can remember back in those days there weren't the strategies that there are today to deal with those issues.

Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.

I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence and I never had any physician except myself.

To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.

The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.
