Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation.

The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.

Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men.

On November 28, 2016, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an 18-year-old legal resident of the United States whose family was originally from Somalia, used a car to mow down a group of people at the Ohio State University.

My family supported me before any of this crazy notion of moving out to Hollywood and staking my claim. That support has never waned.

The first 10 years of my professional life had only to do with running away from my father. He was a wonderful cabinet-maker, and me being the eldest son, I had to take over his shop, his profession and so on and so on. I tried to escape by going to art school and then going on to industrial design and then interior design.

All of my relatives on both sides of my family are from Allentown.
