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.

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.

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.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

I’m no cook. When I want lemon on chicken, I spray it with Pledge.

I had a nice dinner. I let the evening unfold, flow. I like to sit in a chair with a wine glass. When I woke up, I thought, ‘Why didn’t I go to bed at 11?’ I came back at 3 and went to bed at 5.

I am a sucker for those old traditional places, and Rome is as good as it gets, particularly when you throw in Italian food.
