Four years ago I promised to end the war in Iraq. We did. I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. We have. We've blunted the Taliban's momentum in Afghanistan and in 2014 our longest war will be over. A new tower rises above the New York skyline al Qaeda is on the path to defeat and Osama bin Laden is dead.

People talk about 'getting rid of the old image' and I guess there's some merit in that. But the truth is that people loved 'The Wonder Years' - I can't turn my back on it.

I've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.

Above all I would teach him to tell the truth Truth-telling I have found is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: Every single one was a liar.

In the last few years the very idea of telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth is dredged up only as a final resort when the alternative options of deception threat and bribery have all been exhausted.

If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

Based on 30 years of experience with the Iranians they will give you 100 words. Trust only one of the 100.

Spending when the math's not there and the numbers aren't there and if they look in the social security trust fund it's filled with IOUs because the government's been pilfering it for years on end. We have to do something. We have to start having this discussion.

What I've learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment.

The slogan was 'Don't trust anyone over thirty'. Sixty years later the slogan became 'Don't trust anyone over ninety'.

It takes years for me to trust I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.

Don't trust anyone who has been in school for the past 24 consecutive years.

Not one Republican president has balanced the budget in 34 years. You can not trust Republicans with your money.

We've not had one Republican president in 34 years balance the budget. You can't trust right-wing Republicans with your money. You ought to hire somebody who has balanced a budget. I'm much more conservative with money than George Bush is.

As the President has indicated my life has been a life of travel - for 60 years constantly moving over the wide world on journeys which first and last have taken me to 83 countries and what is more significant to most of them again and again.

My first ever job after college was as a flight attendant. I wanted to travel and could not afford it so I decided to get myself a job where I could travel. I did it for two years and had great fun.

When I think of myself at 15 even 17 I could simply not have done this work on an international level and travel all the time take care of myself and not feel lost. I feel very happy that this is happening now and not 10 years ago as I feel stronger as a person.

I made 22 million in 14 years... with taxes and travel and everything else it gets blown out the window... which is why I still need to work.

Young people don't want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait how many roads I had to travel how many songs I had to sing. And now I'm just beginning never ending.

Then after the war it was impossible to travel after so many years of Hitler and Stalin.

You know it's only 50 miles from Grand River to Canton but it took me 67 years to travel that distance.

I had a big troupe a big army and it was a lot of fun. And after 10 years of that I just decided that I wanted to travel and do special dates. I go to Las Vegas these days.

I photographed rocks and trees and tide pools and nudes and all that stuff for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the studio and never have to travel.

Until 1914 I loved to travel I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.
