I really do think about the fact that every day counts. I believe that every individual counts, and so I believe that every day counts and I try not to waste it.

Until I am carried out, I will carry on.

Though I had never written a memoir, I was confident that given enough time, I could do a serviceable job. Not elegant, but blunt, informative and funnier than most readers would expect.

Wages, in real terms, have been stagnant since the 1970s.

First of all, I don’t think fascism is an ideology. I think it is a method, it’s a system.

I was taught to strive not because there were any guarantees of success but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life.

It seems to me that television is exactly like a gun. Your enjoyment of it is determined by which end of it you’re on.

It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life,it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!

What this power is, I cannot say All I know is that it exists.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.

If you are determined nothing can stop you from determining your dreams.
