The message of great art is to disturb.
I am thankful that geniuses and artists and good people, no matter how hard it is, will eventually be recognized. I am doubly thankful that also goes for idiots.
I run everywhere and eavesdrop. It's the best way to see a city.
I personally cannot tell you how many times we rescuers put our names on animals to come to us as soon as they are eligible for release, only to find they have been senselessly killed by overzealous pound workers.
I'm pretty equal opportunity when it comes to issues to joke about.
My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions.
Horse racing is waning in popularity.

I'd much rather see Richard Pryor or Jackie Mason in a theater than in a club.
My family was totally non-religious. There was no question we were Jewish, but we were not observant.
I love being down at Occupy Wall Street. The sincerity, the youth involvement, the desire for better, is palpable and moving. There is true caring, sharing, and refreshingly naive hope.
