The President's political travel is going to get blamed (and probably rightly) for a share of this downturn.

The idea is to have global standards. There is so much travel that if you just had a regional standard it would probably ultimately have to be changed.

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more trying to prolong their youth.

The first time probably people really were aware of me I unfortunately had the title of Showtime's Funniest Person in America. And that's a really tough title to travel around with when you're not even known.

There's much to be said for feeling numb. Time passes more quickly. You eat less and because numbness encourages laziness you do fewer things good or bad and the world's probably a better place for it.

If you start using a medication in a person with autism you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple.

Both young children and old people have a lot of time on their hands. That's probably why they get along so well.

The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.

Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world who are probably not so sure themselves.

The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.

Readers probably haven't heard much about it yet but they will. Quantum technology turns ordinary reality upside down.

If that's there I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.

Without any doubt at all teacher quality is the fundamental differentiator. Not just incidentally of education but I would argue probably the biggest single differentiator of success for the nations of the 21st Century.

I would probably be a teacher if I weren't a comedian.

A hallmark of the Latino community is to help one another if students are interested in a way to give back and help their communities becoming a teacher is probably one of the very best ways of doing that.

I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.

Yeah ideally I'd probably wish to be more anonymous. But scrutiny and success go together. And I want to be successful.
