I think I have told you but if I have not you must have understood that a man who has a vision is not able to use the power of it until after he has performed the vision on earth for the people to see.

Also as I lay there thinking of my vision I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning it would be like fog and get away from me.

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

If those in charge of our society - politicians corporate executives and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.

It gets kinda monotonous but that's television. There are plus sides and down sides. The positive side is that you have steady work for nine months of the year for however many years your show is on TV .

Television is much better crafted today then in the 70s. The content is less positive but I'm one of those that feel our entertainment reflects our world it's not a driver - art imitates life.

From what we've heard about George W. he has a lot issues that he wants to run on. They're positive. They're good. He thinks he's got a good vision for America.

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive fun entertainment.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have but on the negative side financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.

Women are called upon to defend every bit of progress we have made against particularly virulent attack. But we must also hold out a vision put forth a positive agenda of what women need and want and then move forward toward that dream.

More Asians need to be on television as a positive role model.

Look at the declining television coverage. Look at the declining voting rate. Economics and economic news is what moves the country now not politics.

Good politics starts with empathy proceeds to analysis then sets out values and establishes the vision before getting to the nitty-gritty of policy solutions.

The fallback position in politics is if you don't know what you want to be about and if you don't know what your vision is go at somebody else.

It's not about division. It's not about politics. My concern is how do we come together?

I understand the process of politics and the game of television.

I guess probably in my time in politics it continued to be affirmed to me that the African-American community despite being subscription television's most valuable customers they are very underserved by cable and satellite television programming options.

These days politics religion media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

I tend to avoid televisions politics and places with velvet ropes.

The country already has a leader who divides us with the bitter politics of envy. We have to offer an alternative vision.

Television is democracy at its ugliest.
