I used to hate sampling, but it was basically because everyone was getting paid but us. But when they began to do the legislation and get it right, I realized that the kids just did something that, if maybe we were smart enough, we would have done it as well.

I love competition because I've always run faster when somebody was running next to me.

I have to tell you that I love people. When I see the kids coming up and see what they have done with the music, it's amazing.

As long as you keep yourself in love with people, you can transcend time.

That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together.

I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it at an early age.

Presidents do not go into war lightly. It's a tremendous responsibility in making decisions, and I know Bush must deeply believe this is the only course.

Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance.
