You know, there are people making a lot of money in this country who can actually afford their own health care.

People are never quiet. It's go, go, go. I'm a go-getter, but you need rest and silence, just to sit around and think about things.

A constant stream of 'free' money is a perfect way to keep an inefficient or simply bad government in power.

I worry about every newspaper. I worry about the financial undertaking, and I worry that somehow the loss of the sale of the paper version will affect their ability to have journalists and editors and producers. We really need those.
