I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.

When you are 81 years old, you don't really need a lot of the trappings of wealth.

I had one idea that never changed in my mind - that you should use your wealth to help people.

I suppose in the back of my mind I was always one of those guys who had a disdain for money. It had a value if you wanted to buy something, but if you didn't want to buy something, you didn't need it.

I believe there's a huge conflict of interest when local prosecutors investigate cases of police violence within their own communities.

The next series of 'Mr Selfridge' has moved on five years. It's 1914 now, and the war is brewing. Halfway through the series, some of the Selfridges staff have to go off to fight, so they get women in to do the men's jobs.

I remember serving in Vietnam in that war, and many of us at the major Lieutenant Colonel, colonel level were frustrated that no one in the U.S. wanted to debate it that way.

The link between peace and stability on the one hand, and social and economic growth on the other, is dialectic. Peace, poverty, and backwardness cannot mix in one region.
