My profoundest conviction is that the American people will say, as one man: No matter what the exertions or sacrifices, we shall maintain that necessary strength! But we could make no more tragic mistake than merely to concentrate on military strength. For if we did only this, the future would hold nothing for the world but an Age of Terror.

These critics with the illusions they've created about artists - it's like idol worship. They only like people when they're on their way up... I cannot be on the way up again.

When innocent people suffer, because our political system lacks the will, or the courage, or the basic decency to enforce our laws - or worse still, has sold out to some corporate lobbyist for cash - I am not able to look the other way.

The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of "WOKE." The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been - Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is.

No one has ever achieved anything significant without a chorus of critics standing on the sidelines explaining why it can't be done.
