“I was so happy to be alive and happy to be alive is one of our oldest cliches. It's one of those things that we throw around. Happy to be alive. And, you know, to understand what that really means and to feel it is a gift.”
“Oh, yeah. And you know, that's the sad thing about the way it works now, David, is I cannot miss my old job because my old job doesn't exist. They don't govern. The committees don't govern the way they did. Everything had to go through committees in those days.”
“And so that's a gift that I know that these people are out there, that these heroes are out there, that this is the country we live in, and that, you know, whenever you're seeing these things happen in our world and in our country, in our politics that you hate, you see something happen in Washington tomorrow that you absolutely despise.”
“Yeah, and there was that, but there was this much more important reason. And it was a reason that I had never previous believed previously believed until I used it myself. And that was for family reasons.”
