I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house we had an enormous feast and then I killed them and took their land.

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.

John Currin's exaggerated realism and his twisted women kept me off balance never knowing if they were sincere or ironic or some new emotion.

I want women to be liberated and still be able to have a nice ass and shake it.

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.

Women's Lib? Oh I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts.

When I celebrated my bar mitzvah there was no cake. Today there is no such thing as a bar mitzvah in the United States without a special cake. It can be even more complicated and expensive than a wedding cake because bar-mitzvah cakes are often based on a particular theme.

My mother lived in Holland and during World War II was incarcerated in a Japanese camp for three years.

It would be a pity if frustrated by the price of travel we elected to become a society that never made contact that never gave SETI a fair chance.

I mean I'd love to have a private jet - I know people who fly by private jet all the time... I've hitched a ride a few times and it is not overrated at all it's a great way to travel!

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Electronic music used pure sounds completely calibrated. You had to think digitally as it were in a way that allowed you to extend serial ideas into other parameters through technology.

Civilization depends on our expanding ability to produce food efficiently which has markedly accelerated thanks to science and technology.

Because I do think - not just in building AOL - but just the world in which we live is a very confusing rapidly changing world where technology has accelerated.

All images generated by imaging technology are viewed in a walled-off location not visible to the public. The officer assisting the passenger never sees the image and the officer viewing the image never interacts with the passenger. The imaging technology that we use cannot store export print or transmit images.

Over the last few years the world has become a smaller and more integrated place with technology that is leveling the playing field like never before.

I watch too much cable I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout - but I know that's not a view held by many nor were the views I was frustrated about.

It is in Virginia and Georgia that the war now rages and where it will continue for at these points - Richmond and Atlanta - the enemy's main strength is concentrated.

The fact that we're going through a crisis is an opportunity for Europe to be more coordinated and more integrated. We're actually talking about a European Monetary Fund or euro bonds about guarantees for countries about economic governance in the European Union. That shows the strength of Europe.

My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'

I did a shoot for 'Sports Illustrated ' and my grandpa called me and asked when my issue of 'Playboy' was coming out. It was hilarious as well as embarrassing.

These 'Sports Illustrated' people they know how to hold a secret.

Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.

The 'Sports Illustrated' cover was the last thing I shot. That week I told my agent 'You know what I really... I don't want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.' And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment.
