“I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made ...” — Lee Atwater Quote

I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul.

My illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything.

It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime.

My childhood, adolescence and high school days are unusually important. If there has ever been a time that I developed a uniqueness and sense of humor and the ability to organize, it was then. In those early days, I developed the skills that gave me a certain degree of success in American politics.

With 'Arrested Development,' we tried showing the deep disdain that connects a family. We wanted to hold up a mirror to American society. And, just as predicted, America looked away.

American society has fallen into the biggest cavity our civilization has ever faced and people are tired of the same old politicians getting elected year-in and year-out.

I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.

I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
