When I was 16 or 17, anyone could have had me if they sang the right song and recruited me in the right way. Which is why I've always had a sneaking understanding for people who took the wrong route. That doesn't mean to say I took it or even contemplated it myself.

Until we have a better relationship between private performance and the public truth, as was demonstrated with Watergate, we as the public are absolutely right to remain suspicious, contemptuous even, of the secrecy and the misinformation which is the digest of our news.

I think anyone who doesn't say that they'd like people to think that they're doing the right thing is wrong. I mean, I'd like it to be that way, but I've never allowed it to influence my actions.

Whether it's in the right way or sometimes the wrong way, you learn about life and its lessons.

I'm sure there's a right way and there's a wrong way. The bottom line is you have to do what you think is right.

To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.
