People have to free their imaginations and realize everyone can do something, on a large or a small scale, depending on their ability. Those who can do a lot because of their position and potential should jump right in there.
With things that I'm going through, whether they be on a small scale or a large scale, I'm thinking, 'Who else is going through this? And how can I address it and bring it to light to help someone else?'
For long-duration exploration missions, NASA is looking for folks with a lot of operational, hands-on experience, people who have been in field-type situations such as military deployments. In my case, I worked in the Congo and in Biosafety Level 4 labs on smallpox.
I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.
He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.
So they ended up turning this little twenty eight page book into the movie. And it's all about this stinky, smelly ogre who doesn't care what anybody thinks of him.
It is one of the great acts of American generosity and charity, what we are doing for these unaccompanied kids who are smuggled into our country or come across illegally.
I can't stand folk who are all snobby about reality TV.
You're not going to find a man whose socks don't get dirty or who doesn't snore.
I worked with people like Edward Snowden. Well, not people who took stuff home.
Mr. Snowden is a coward who has chosen to run.
I travel in so many different ways; I travel high, I rough it... it all depends on who I travel with.
I'd better be on the road, or I'll be going nuts. I'm not the kind of guy who sits around with a pipe and slippers watching soap operas.
Who has to have a soapbox when all you've ever needed is your voice?
He who negates present society, and seeks social conditions based on the sharing of property, is a revolutionary whether he calls himself an anarchist or a communist.
While I know some women who are stunningly sanguine when they're pregnant, I dissolve into a total mess. What normally appears sturdy turns fragile: the economy, the climate, humanity's baseline social contract.
We can't afford as a nation - not because of money but because of our social fabric - to have large numbers of people who are not working.
I think we've built a bit of a culture and a market around people who are open and seek out that social interaction.
There have been tons of politicians who were slow to accept equal rights when it meant changes in the established social order. Many eventually came around, admitted they were wrong, and were forgiven. But the ones who actively choose hate-mongering don't ever get a pass.
I'm never going to be one of those guys who gets on TV and yells and screams. That's not how I do my business. But I'm very aware of social responsibility.
