My youngest son is a writer. He wrote for 'The District' and 'CSI: NY.'

I want to see my kids grow up in a world that I grew up in, which was it had imagination and it had hope. And all of a sudden, I see that being dissolved, and I see, as a country, as a people, we are a republic. We are a democracy.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
