It's corruption never been systemic, because a fish rots from the head

I'm sure I took some licks at the system, and at trials and lawyers in general. I've seen enough of them for so many years both as a cop and a defendant in defamation cases.

Probably 95 percent of the things that are written never get on the screen.

The O.J. Simpson case, they had no understanding of that DNA evidence, and didn't want to.

No one I know of has ever had this experience-where you had to sit and wait and wait for a DNA test to come back just so you can write the last page of the book.

The Onion Field, that one got pretty close to me because I was a cop when it happened. I saw some of the indifference that my police department showed to the surviving officer.

The serial arsonist is the most difficult to apprehend because the evidence is burned up.

I enjoy doing the research of nonfiction; that gives me some pleasure, being a detective again.

Today, lawyers are attacking more; they're attacking everything. A good example is the O.J. Simpson case.

Jury selection is strictly an emotional process. They're looking for people they can manipulate. Both sides are.

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

Spain is more vegan-friendly than you've been led to believe. The truth is, most places are.

There are no good guys or bad guys. Not really

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.

Stand-up is what I am; stand-up is what made me.

Wisdom and inner peace must be created by yourself.

Preaching, power, and persecution are all apart of who we are.

It's better to have a good player with the basketball in late game situations than to have plays.

Burning fossil fuels is like breaking up the furniture to feed the fireplace because it's easier than going out to the woodpile.
