That's Another Thing That's Depressing: Certain Attitudes In Congress. They Assume That You're Dumb; They Can Take Advantage Of You Being Dumb. I Find That Offensive. It Insults Our Intelligence.

They're Taking Us Backward In Time.

I Try To Avoid Giving Advice. The Only Advice I Will Give Is To Pay Attention. I Don't Mean To The Screen In Your Hand. I'm Talking About The Natural World. I Spent A Lot Of Time Educating My Children About Nature By Putting Them In Nature. I Said, "i Want You To Listen; I Want You To Look." There's So Much Technology Coming Into Our Lives That Takes Us Away From The Natural Stuff, So I'm Pushing The Other Way.

I Was Raised In California During The Second World War And Into The '50s And Everything Was Fine, Everything Was Great. The Sun Always Shone, Everybody Looked Healthy And Wore Ties And Smoked In Restaurants, And There Were Cars For Everybody - Except Us, Because I Came From A Lower Class Neighbourhood. But [in France] I Realised There Was A Different Point Of View, So When I Came Back To America A Year And A Half Later I Was Much More Focused On My Own Country Culturally And Politically.
