I don't see why it should be remarkable that you can acquire a reputation for fairness and decency. Those are qualities shared by so many people. And the great majority of people I meet are decent people, just trying to navigate their way through the world without causing too much trouble.

I fight, and have fought, for political freedom, for justice and for fairness and freedom of speech.

No matter who or what you support, I believe in supporting fairness first.

I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.

I've always tried to be fair to my subjects. That's easy when they are as likable and admirable as Lewis and Clark, or Eisenhower.

I don't view myself as a political leftie. I view myself as a storyteller who is fair to both sides.

I have plenty of political views and plenty of social and personal prejudices. I do not, however, value them.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
