The quality that defines us as Americans is the courage to respond to being hit. The courage to root out and destroy the killers. And, most importantly, the courage to hold on to our values and protect our hard-won freedoms while doing it.

Courage is very important. Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.

Love is the most difficult and dangerous form of courage. Courage is the most desperate, admirable and noble kind of love.

I love Joan Collins. She's a wonderful lady. She has such courage. She's such a good actress.

I have three favorite politicians: Reagan, Truman, and Bobby Kennedy - Bobby for showing remarkable political courage despite being loathed by many on both sides.
