Jimmy Carter was unquestionably the most moral president of my lifetime, but he wasn't much of a president.
President Jimmy Carter was a citizen soldier. Ironically, he was considered weak because he didn't kill anybody and he didn't get anyone killed.
I met Gerald Ford. I met Richard Nixon. I met Jimmy Carter. I met Dwight Eisenhower when he was a general. George Bush senior. I haven't met Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, although I got a letter from him.
I didn't see Kirby Puckett as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Gary Carter as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Don Sutton as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Phil Niekro as a Hall of Famer. As much as I like Jim Rice, I'm not so sure he's a Hall of Famer.
There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.
It's not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he's fun to read out loud.
I was inspired by Cary Grant. I wanted to do the kind of work he did and to work in light-hearted roles, in comedies.
If Casey Stengel were alive today, he'd be spinning in his grave.
Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on.

I have mortally opposed the English king; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.
Fidel Castro, whatever people may think of him, is a hero in Latin America, primarily because he stood up to the United States.
I know that Oswald killed Kennedy. Now, was he pushed? Encouraged to do it by outsiders? Possibly. Possibly. Was he sitting down with Fidel Castro? No.
Working with Woody Allen was extremely gratifying. He has such a vast catalog of great work that doing one of his films was somewhat unreal.
The catcher is in the middle of everything. He sees it best.
He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.
Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.
Happy is he who can trace effects to their causes.
Make decisions about the President's personal security. He can overrule you, but don't ask him to be the one to counsel caution.
