I think nixon says a lot about those times. it was possibly hard, in the '90s and early 2000s to understand the grip of fear that communism had on the country in the 1950s and 1960s - a fear nixon rode like a endless great wave on the pacific to high office. i'm sure, though there's no evidence of it, one of the things that rankled him down deep was that it was called mccarthyism and not nixonism.

More From Harry Shearer

They heard somewhere in that tenantless night a bell that tolled and ceased where no bell was and they rode out on the round dais of the earth which alone was dark and no light to it and which carried their figures and bore them up into the swarming stars so that they rode not under but among them and they rode at once jaunty and circumspect, like thieves newly loosed in that dark electric, like young thieves in a glowing orchard, loosely jacketed against the cold and ten thousand worlds for the choosing.

Chauvet cave is rather like the awakening of the modern human soul or i would say the awakening of modern human culture. because neanderthal men who still rode the landscape parallel to the people who did these paintings didn't have culture. there's no evidence of culture, no symbolic depiction, no evidence of music, no evidence of sculptures, no evidence of religious beliefs.

I took a bit of a back seat, i had kids and i wanted to focus on them. there's that period in the late '90s, the early 2000s, where i didn't do a great deal.

Christmas begins what easter celebrates. the child in the cradle became the king on the cross. and because he did, there are no marks on my record. just grace. his offer has no fine print. he didn't tell me, "clean up before you come in." he offered, "come in, and i'll clean you up." it's not my grip on him that matters but his grip on me. and his grip is sure. so is his presence in my life.

At first, when a child meets something that scares him, the fear grows, like a wave. but when he goes into the water and swims - gets used to the water - the wave grows small. if we pull the child away when the wave is high, he never sees that, never learns how to swim and remains afraid. if he gets a chance to feel strong, in control, that's called coping. when he copes, he feels better.

I've been doing nixon pretty much my whole professional life. i was in this comedy group called the credibility gap in los angeles when he was president. i was doing nixon on the radio, and when we did live shows i physicalized him - if that's a word - for the first time. and then i did a nixon sketch on a very short-lived nbc show called sunday best.

I truly believe slavery is why, as a by-product, we still have a disproportionate amount of black men incarcerated in the usa. it is an extension of that legacy, and that's not going to start to diminish until black people have a new sense of themselves that isn't tied to slavery and feeling inferior. i think the church can be instrumental in that, in terms of repentance, reconciliation and just being more embracing of each other - not just on sunday, but in life generally.

In the plenitude of their relationship, florentina ariza asked himself which of the two was love: the turbulent bed or the peaceful sunday afternoons, and sara noriega calmed him with the simple argument that love was everything they did naked. she said, 'spiritual love from the waist up and physical love from the waist down.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in sunday school, but it's true.

I just don't skimp on tv. even if i'm exhausted and so tired and it's 12 a.m. and a sunday night, i'll still watch game of thrones. i will stay up, and i will watch it. i totally screw my sleep schedule up.
