I left Gorbachev's office thinking that everything about him was outsized: his achievements, his mistakes, and, now, his vanity and bitterness.

I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.

Journalism, some huge percentage of it, should be devoted to putting pressure on power, on nonsense, on chicanery of all kinds and if that's going to invite a lawsuit, well, bring it on.

Nature is cold, wet, hard and unforgiving.

There is no single field of activity, not a single institution, free of the most brutal sort of corruption. Russia has bred a world-class mafia.

100% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first - and the other 2% are lying.100

The Communist Party apparatus was the most gigantic mafia the world has ever known.

Every good journalist is aware that his trade may one day go the way of phrenology-and, what's more, the population will hardly protest the extinction.

We should put pressure on power and write the truth and write relentlessly and fearlessly. That's the job.

I would also like to see Russia not interfere in our elections.

I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.

I know, I'm not perfect, I'm not too good, I'm an average person in everything but I also know that I'm real. And really that's enough for me and I'm very happy with it. :)

Now is the time to change your tomorrow.

Through the shake of an earthquake I will never fall. That’s how strong my love is.

Fire is a fragile lover, court her well, neglect her not; her faith is like a misty smoke, her anger is destructive hot.

My two favorite things about being a pro player are Sunday afternoons being able to excite many fans and the money because I get to treat my family and friends and myself to nice things.

I have two sons, ages 38 and 25 in Texas, and my wife and seven year old daughter here in Nashville. On New Year's I'd rather be with them.

Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do - acting and writing.

But I just know from experience that accent wise, even if you're an accent genius, crossing the Atlantic is the hardest thing in the world either way.

Playing against a defensive opponent is just as bad as making love to a tree.

Honest men love women; those who deceive them adore them.
