Our national media refuses to report that even the Supreme Court did not say marriage was a human right in all cases nor did it say that the heterosexual definition violated anyone's right or that the heterosexual definition of marriage was unconstitutional.

Inspirations never go in for long engagements they demand immediate marriage to action.

I really love idiot enlightened characters - these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.

People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it immediately or in the long run.

And understandably so that when you're in legal jeopardy you really cannot put yourself in a position to open yourself up to the media.

I avoid the media circus keep my head down and try to keep growing and learning things.

In such an environment I was able to study things that could be of immediate usefulness to the world. That learning experience undoubtedly served me well when I eventually entered the work force.

Well immediately we announced yesterday or the day before we're building with my foundation a youth tennis and learning center in Austin. I'd like to be hands on with that and not see it periodically.

There's no media training. In cooking school there's not even manager training. You learn the fundamentals of cooking. Everything else is learning by doing.

The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio TV magazines and books so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan.

I think it is important for people who are given leadership roles to assume that role immediately.

So I think democracy in the long-term in our countries will survive if it comes to be associated with leadership will not survive if democracy plus media brings to us more and more followship rather than leadership.

Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries.

In other words knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact.

It's clear that people are going to download media files and they're going to talk to each other and they're going to exchange information and knowledge and so forth. So this system logic is basically what you bounce off of.

To my knowledge I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.

I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance but someone else may not know about it.

'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' took a year to record that's why the playing on it might sound somewhat labored. 'Balance ' on the other hand was written and recorded in only four months so the whole process was quicker and more immediate.

A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media which is our culture. Professors of humanities with all their leftist fantasies have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.

This life that has been given to us as a gift as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it really try to recognize it is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful.

When I see a good singer I get teary-eyed. Part of it is jealousy because all comedians are frustrated rock stars. That's a fact.

And when they encounter works of art which show that using new media can lead to new experiences and to new consciousness and expand our senses our perception our intelligence our sensibility then they will become interested in this music.

Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang - even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me.
