What happened with Hurricane Katrina was the American electorate was forced to look at what lay behind the veneer of chest-beating. We all saw the consequences of having terrible government leadership.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

Chemistry is not anything an executive producer or writer can orchestrate or plan you just hope for it.

I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.

The home should be the treasure chest of living.

If past history was all there was to the game the richest people would be librarians.

There is just no reason why the richest nation in the world can't provide health care to all its people.

People are ready to say 'Yes we are ready for single-payer health insurance.' We are the only industrialized country in the world that does not have national health insurance. We are the richest in wealth and the poorest in health of all the industrial nations.

My personal feeling if I can interject a political note is that I don't think it is right that basic health care is a privilege. It shouldn't be. It should be a right of all human beings. And certainly in the richest country in the world.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
