“It's frightening to think about more sanctions. When I've met North Koreans in China, they've said to me, 'You have no idea how difficult our lives are. We live like dogs.' They wake up in the morning wondering what they're going to eat for dinner.”

“I agree with Kathi Zellweger that sanctions mostly punish the ordinary people who live at the edge of starvation.”

“People have crossed the Himalayas in flip-flops seeking a blessing from the Dalai Lama.”

“I have a pickup truck. And I prefer to be with dogs or on my sailboat than in a car - actually, more than any other place on Earth.”

“In someone's life, dogs can be very important which in turn changes everyone else's lives.”

“I love hot dogs. That's the only thing I can't get rid of.”
