- My mother saved our home with a minimum wage job. But in the 1960s, a minimum wage job would support a family of three above the poverty line. Not today. Not even close. I understood right then that people can work hard, they can play by the rules, and they can still take a hard smack.
- They didn't promise a per diem or payment. Only free food, clothing, weapons, and a guarantee that they would transport our bodies to Rostov-on-Don and give them to our relatives. If, of course, they found them.

I didn’t ask him about his favorite color or his favorite meal at the White House - I actually talked to him about real things, and I survived. Phew!’
- [Marijuana] will be legal everywhere, and that will cause a very interesting tipping point. Certainly, if more people were smoking instead of drinking - people don’t get mean on weed, don’t beat up their wives on weed, and don’t drive crazy on weed. They just get hungry, don’t go out of the house, or laugh a lot. I think it would make for a much more gentle world.

- I've always said, I like my coffee like I like my men… I don't drink coffee.
