We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.

If you really want change you really want it to be inclusive where everyone's included otherwise you're just going to have more of the same in the future.

Something I've realized lately to my shock is that I am an optimist in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification and that we really can build the future that we want if we're smart about it.

It's so different when you change your hair color you're treated so differently. It's a very funny experience. It's fun - I love changing up my hair.

That's a funny thing fame. People definitely do treat you differently. When you begin to be successful people say 'Don't go changing.' Well that's easy to say but the fact is you don't change at all - other people do.

The audience changes every night. You're the same person. You have to speak your mind and do the stuff that you think is funny and makes you laugh.

Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

If freedom's best friends cannot unify around a realistic actionable program of fundamental change one that attracts and persuades a broad majority of our fellow citizens big change will not come.

My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants airports streets hotel lobbies parks and department stores. Verbal exchanges between consenting adults in private are as of little interest to me as they probably are to them.

137 years later Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy.
