One of the things that we’re missing from our political dialogue right now is the idea that the United States is a home. It is more than an accounting sheet. It is more than the sum of its G.D.P., its total tax collections, or its total outlays. America is a family.

I’m not called Jude Law, I have three names; I’m called ‘Hunk Jude Law’ or ‘Heartthrob Jude Law’. In England anyway, that’s my full name.

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard a wrestling fan say they don’t have enough time to watch ‘Raw.’ Maybe it’s less about not having the time to watch a three-hour show, but it’s more about the time and the patience.
