When Gore Vidal was coming up, there were three major channels, and he could count on a big audience when he debated someone like William F. Buckley on TV.

Gore Vidal has been a friend of mine for years, and he's one of the greatest writers in American history.

I used to read Gore Vidal books and think I was cool.

I came to know Gore Vidal in the mid-1980s, when I was living in southern Italy, virtually a neighbour, and our friendship lasted until his death in 2012. Needless to say, he was a complicated and often combative man.

I read Noam Chomsky. I like some of Gore Vidal's stuff.

The whole book experience was a look into another world, the world of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer.

I had a year off, so my wife and I were heading to Italy to study Italian. We found a little house in a village called Atrani. I discovered that Gore Vidal lived right above us in a big house, so I sent him a note.

I am Al Gore, and I used to be the next president of the United States of America.

I've known Al Gore since he was born. He has been the best little boy, he was a boring child, and he has never done anything wrong.

It's unbelievable, there's a book out attacking Gore, when he's the most unfortunate loser in political history.
