  • Yes, I get dry spells. Sometimes I can't turn out a thing for three months. When one of those spells comes on I quit trying to work and go out and see something of life.

  • I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington . . . I'm asking you to believe in yours."
