My mother isolated herself from all family and friends for some 20 years. And never met her grandchild, my son.

My mother shut all her family out of her life over the years, though we made several futile attempts to stay connected. May God rest her soul.

Psychology doesn't like to talk about evil. It likes to talk about bad childhoods. But I very much believe that some people are evil and motivation is not necessary for evil.

I get nervous in front of friends and family, but this time I was on national TV and I wasn't very nervous.

I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that.
