Today, I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.
Jesse Jackson, when I met him, he had an innocence about him which is still very much a part of him today.
Ironically, in today's marketplace successful nonfiction has to be unbelievable, while successful fiction must be believable.
Statehood for the District of Columbia is the most important civil rights and social justice issue in America today.
Today, people tend to credit me with having the original idea and made the first circuits.
If the great figures of this nation’s history were alive today, they would all have to say that they committed a felony when they applied for a job at McDonald’s.
What was accomplished in 'Band of Brothers' was incredible, from the writing and producing to the performances of the actors who honored all those men that fought bravely and gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today.
I've learned over the years that people are human and have mood swings, regardless of how talented they are. Today, I'm looking at life from a realistic point of view instead of the way I would want things to be.

Goodwill can be indicated in various ways. I raised that particular example because at that time I was in charge. Today, I'm not in a position to present other possibilities.
I guess some of today's programming has rubbed off on me because I find myself having to set time around for touring, putting that together and then setting time around for recording.
The Capone era. That was my time. Capone was a big baseball fan. He'd walk into the ballpark like the president walking in today, with bodyguards all around him.
The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today.
I don't in any way disparage any time I've had in the trenches because it really has made me the artist I am today.
One could see that what you are writing was that today's meeting with President Bill Clinton was going to be a disaster. Now, for the first time, I can tell you that you are a disaster.
