I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.

I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.

One Christmas my father kept our tree up till March. He hated to see it go. I loved that.

I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman, peace on Earth and mangers, Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer, the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' office parties and cookies.

Politicians who wear little tennis socks with the balls at the back should not be taken seriously.

Homemade sweaters are always itchy.

Hypocrisy is great fodder for comedy.

I know a lot about a few things - mostly useless things.

It's much easier to make jokes about sensitive issues if there is some dissent, some conflict.

Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.

One could say, that #‎ Masons were raised right.

Free gift of grace is the great mercy of God.

Trust your sacred-soul. It is a divine self.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

I only want to be associated with music that is high quality. That's my main criteria.

It's just as sure a recipe for failure to have the right idea fifty years too soon as five years too late.

The prophets preach . . . that pleasure, not will-power and coercion, is how you most deeply transform people.

If it doesn't bother you, it won't bother them.

Public action should seek to expand the set of opportunities of those who have the least voice and fewest resources and capabilities.

Everywhere, giant finned cars nose forward like fish; a savage servility slides by on grease.
