I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance.

Civics is not only how to run the country before it's your turn to run the country it is, in fact, the study of power, practical political power. And you must start that process at an age level when kids' brains are still open and malleable.

I have more fun and more grand and glorious moments of my life than anyone I've never known. I know that some people call that manic-depress, and that other people call that being touched by God. I just call myself lucky.

I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I'm proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I'm happy with what I've done.

It is an obvious and blatant stupidity beyond my ability to articulate how dumb it is for us not to teach our children how to run the government.
Richard Dreyfuss
Image
I don't know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfillment of personal fantasies. It isn't just art, its about being a person I've always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero.

Wake up and live. It's a fast world out there.

Part of me is still waiting to grow up, to be an adult, and the other part knows there is no such thing.

Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that's uncivil.

It must be remembered that the Bush White House has a separate talent for character assassination that must not be confused with a talent for governance.

To teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country... if we don't, someone else will run our country.
