I personally have always been in favor of people who are gay being permitted to marry legally -- and I still feel that way.

War and good health are incompatible. There's no way we can go eradicate diseases into an area that is at war.

Aggression unopposed becomes a contagious disease.

Put on a sweater.

That difference between the rich and poor is growing every month.

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

People who have lust in their heart as just as guilty as those who commit adultery.

If I should ever decide in the future to discuss my deep Christian beliefs and condemnation and sinfulness, I would use another forum besides Playboy.

When I reflect upon my blessings during my very nice lifetime, I am inspired to make sure that I spend the balance of the days of my existence in a productive way.

Jesus never mentions abortion. But I think that Jesus did care for the unborn child, I think that Jesus did care for people who were completely helpless, who depend on others for their life and livelihood. I just believe that this should be minimized if possible.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

My paintings have gotten to be pretty popular and I've taken a little bit more interest in painting the last few years. In fact, my novel that I wrote not too long ago, 'The Hornet's Nest,' I painted the cover picture for it and I do a good bit of painting now.

It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.

Thoughtful criticism and close scrutiny of all government officials by the press and the public are an important part of our democratic society.

On human rights, civil rights and environmental quality, I consider myself to be very liberal. On the management of government, on openness of government, on strengthening individual liberties and local levels of government, I consider myself a conservative. And I don't see that the two attitudes are incompatible.

I think politicians really go with the tide.

There is a strong religious commitment to the sanctity of human life, but, paradoxically, some of the most fervent protectors of microscopic stem cells are the most ardent proponents of the death penalty.

Testing oneself is best when done alone.

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect -- if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith -- it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.

I am convinced that UFOs exist because I've seen one.
