I've been bragging for over 25 years that my first New York Times bestseller was a book I copied from the U.S. Government Printing Office!

If the government did a good job of publicizing this information, my products wouldn't sell.

What is also strange to me is that public libraries have always been in the forefront of opposing censorship.

Some of the best health care services are free or cost very little and are even available to millionaires but hardly anyone knows they exist.

The place I feel most at home is when I have health insurance. I really don't care how I get it, whether it's on film, or television or waiting tables, you know?

When they told me I had cancer - a very rare form called appendiceal cancer - I was shocked. But I went straight into battle mode. Every morning, I'd wake up and have an internal conversation with cancer. 'All right, dude,' I'd tell it, 'go ahead and hit me. But I'm going to hit you back even harder.'

I still represent for overweight adults and kids, but I am also now painfully and personally aware of the health issues.

I think there's a lot of people who right now are worried that people are going down frivolous paths, like inventing new social networks or new games, instead of inventing the cures for cancer or fundamental technologies that will change the world.
