My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately she was just coming home.

We've been a country that's been fortunate to be protected by two oceans to not have serious attacks on our territory for most of our history. And we were unfortunately reminded in a very devastating way of our vulnerability.

If you believe that health care is a public good to be guaranteed by the state then a single-payer system is the next best alternative. Unfortunately it is fiscally unsustainable without rationing.

Raising taxes is the last thing we should do amid the weakest economic recovery since World War II. Unfortunately even if we avoid the full 'Taxmageddon' scenario President Obama's health care law also contains a new surtax on investment that will take effect in 2013.

Unfortunately we are still in an age where individuals may be discriminated against because of health conditions.

I would like to be as fit as I've always been. I've been blessed with good health I've been blessed with stamina. Particularly for those great classical roles you need an Olympian stamina. I fortunately have that.

Giving governors more leeway in administering health care could represent a small positive development in the ongoing saga of Obamacare. Unfortunately instead of choosing flexibility President Obama and his left-leaning advisers always default to rigid 'Washington knows best' answers.

Musicians are probably the most uncomfortable people in themselves in the world. Happiness I think only exists when you're a child and once you go past 11 unfortunately it's gone.

As a child I was a great liar. Fortunately my mother liked my lies. I promised her marvelous things.

My books are like water those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water.
