“It (broadcast journalism) is a brutal arena where the knives are sharp and the toughest Kevlar vest in the world will not protect you forever.”

If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it’s clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again.

I mean, that was a throwaway thought, because my focus was – my intent and my focus was to never go public.

A good journalist’s first priority should be to separate propaganda from fact – but sometimes its very hard to do that.

I know that education is all about discipline and motivation. Disadvantaged students need extra attention, a stable school environment, and enough teacher creativity to stimulate their imaginations. Those things are not expensive.

I think that the terrible, disgraceful coverage actually got Donald Trump elected, along with Hillary Clinton’s inability to connect with voters on any level. That’s another thing, she was a terrible candidate.

Donald Trump is an entertainer. Okay. He goes on shows like Howard Stern’s to get people to watch his program. “The Apprentice” or buy his books or whatever.

If you are a kid in America, and you live in a secular home and go to public school, you know nothing about Jesus of Nazareth. The only time you hear the word Jesus is when somebody’s yelling at you – Jesus, okay?

You can’t be a real man if you don’t look out for your kids. They need you.

Yeah, I’m obnoxious, yeah, I cut people off, yeah, I’m rude. You know why? Because you’re busy.

How we choose to combat that challenge is often life-defining. You can face difficulties head-on, or run from them, or ignore them until they consume you. But no one escapes conflict. No one.

It’s very difficult to pin down the President of the United States without subpoena powers.

Saturday night at my house, I often trot out classic movies and force the urchins to watch them. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I think it’s important to teach kids about American culture, and films are certainly a big part of it.

The chief al Qaeda recruiting tool is the net.

You know, when Sharpton and I walked in, it was, like, big commotion and everything, but everybody was very nice.

It’s just that who he’s negotiating with that changes and he believes that he can impose better deals and the United States with benefit from them.

I’m just a loud Irish guy.

I’ve always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That’s how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

A doctor once told me that with crying you aren’t sure what its derivation is. If someone comes at you with a knife, you don’t cry: you scream, you try to run. When it’s over and you’re OK, that’s when you cry.

I probably use my chef’s knives more than any other tool in the kitchen. I’m not married to a particular brand, because they all work, they all have sharp blades.

You don’t learn knife skills at cooking school, because they give you only six onions and no matter how hard you focus on those six onions there are only six, and you’re not going to learn as much as when you cut up a hundred.

Of all the works of man I like best Those which have been used. The copper pots with their dents and flattened edges The knives and forks whose wooden handles Have been worn away by many hands: such forms Seemed to me the noblest.

The shrill voices of those who give orders Are full of fear like the squeakings of Piglets awaiting the butcher’s knife, as their fat arses Sweat with anxiety in their office chairs…. Fear rules not only those who are ruled, but The rulers too.

Memories do not always soften with time; some grow edges like knives.

I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper,
