“Cat’s are unpredictable. It is a fine line between the cure, inquisitive and innocent creature resting on our lap and the hissing, spitting and deranged banshee it might become at any moment. This is why we’re trying always to win their love.”

You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.

This is supposed to be a participatory democracy and if we’re not in there participating then the people that will manipulate and exploit the system will step in there.

I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people.

I’m a civic busybody and I’ve been blessed with an active career.

Confidence in the human capacity for problem solving, for invention, for innovation.

We have to be vigilant about how the Trump administration may try to divide us from each other.

Plays close, movies wrap and TV series eventually get cancelled, and we were cancelled in three season.

Unfriending me when I didn’t even know we were friends? It’s like breaking wind when you’re home alone. If I can’t smell you, knock yourself out.

I’m a preservationist, I believe in preserving history intact, but I also enjoy the technological advances which have been made.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

The smallest feline is a masterpiece.

I’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.
