The hurricanes and the gas prices have hurt us,

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

Love can be more destructive than hate.

It was one of those swims that felt really good all the way through. It didn't hurt at all. I had really good splits. I'm really, really happy with that swim.

And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!

We're hearing that a lot of people have been affected by the hurricanes, and have had to go into their entertainment budgets to offer support for the people down there.
