I find celebrity status ...

I find celebrity status difficult to bear when I am in the company of my mother.

Quotes from the same author

Cindy Sheehan is one tough mother. And nothing you say or anyone else is gonna slow her down.
 Phil Donahue
We [in USA] have people honestly believing that, if a president calls a war, you have to shut up and sing. That is not the nation my mother raised me to pledge my allegiance to. We should speak out. We sent thousands of Americans to foreign battlefields to protect our way of life, which includes free speech. If you're not going to use it, it's already lost. We'll find a Mussolini who will tell us what's good for us.
 Phil Donahue
If Stalin ever told me to urinate, I'm not sure I'd be able to.
 Phil Donahue
I have moved from certainty to doubt, from devotion to rebellion.
 Phil Donahue
Science may have come a long way, but as far as religion is concerned, we are first cousins to the !Kung tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert. Except for the garments, their deep religious trances might just as well be happening at a revival meeting or in the congregation of a fundamentalist TV preacher.... As we move further from the life of ignorance and superstition in which religion has its roots, we seem to need it more and more.... Why has religion become a force just when we'd have thought it would be losing ground to secularism?
