People In Power Have To Be Careful

People Realize That We're Very Good At Sending People To War, But We're Not Good At Taking Care Of Them. And People Are Coming Back From War Now; Years Ago, They Would Have Been Killed, Now They're Wounded; And They're Coming Back Alive And With Post-traumatic Stress. So, I Think Americans Are Sensible Enough To Know We've Got To Figure Out A Way To Take Care Of Them.

What You Are Will Show, Ultimately. Start Now, Every Day, Becoming, In Your Actions, Your Regular Actions, What You Would Like To Become In The Bigger Scheme Of Things.

I Went As Far Away From Home As Possible In Terms Of The Development Of My Imagination.

Some People Study A Text Very Deeply. The People Are My Text. I Study Their Words And What Their Words Sound Like, Over And Over Again. When I Was A Kid, My Grandfather Said That "if You Say A Word Often Enough, It Becomes You." Thinking Of That Later In Life Gave Me This Idea That I Could Try To Become America By Learning The Words Of People From Many Aspects Of The Country. It Doesn't Matter How Educated They Are. By Living In The World And Living Their Experiences, They Bring Extraordinary Truths. I Try To Do Those Truths Justice.

We Spend So Much Time Bantering About The Words When The Real Open Conversations Might Very Well Be Our Actions. I Worry About Our Rhetoric.
