and i was great at it and i did it for about ten years. and it was pretty fun. sort of stumbled into that. and that's why we wanted land, i wanted to plant flowers, and be martha stewart back in the 90s. [laughter] i wanted to plant everything for weddings, but the reality is everything is full of bugs and it crawls out on the ta (calvin) where did you go when you decided you didn't want to do flower arranging anymore? what happened? oh, i invited-- victoria magazine used to be my favorite magazine when i was doing flowers. it was all very womanly and entrepreneurial and inspiring. i sent them an email and invited them for blueberry pie and tea, 'cause i thought it'd get promotion for my wedding business. and they came! so i was like, "wow, they flew up from new york?" so i ran around like a maniac fixing the place up and making it look perfect, and doing all these little sets and things. and the lady who came...she was so nice. and she's like, "you should be a stylist." and i said... "well, what is that?" and she goes, "well, it's what you did. "you make these

i was ashamed i was ashamed that i had been wounded i was ashamed that i hadn't been a hero. i never understood that my problems with my parents my problems with my wife my ex-wife were buried in the fact that i had gotten blown up i never i never understood it repressed it totally and then i began to go to a coffee shop and i would hear the big bands of the night hundred forty five and i would weep like a baby in public i had no idea that what i was doing i could reply to was going back and trying to find that the little boy of my teeth and what happened. the fall of eighty four i was driven to go back to fly to look some birds to spend the night there to rent a car and file and find the place where i was wounded on september seventh one thousand and forty four. and then suddenly. i found the bridge with the reed cross that had been blown when i'd been shot. i discovered to the hour at the moment where i had been wounded forty years before and i cannot explain it but that discovery began my healing. my generation really repressed with the war was about we didn't want to talk

don't go away. >> i was with some friends of mine. i was gypping school, i was 9. some guys came up to me and wanted to rip me off. and i didn't have any money. so they said, do you want to fly birds. so i went to their coop and i was their little gofer chasing the birds from roof to roof and building to building. and i didn't know. i thought it was cool having birds. and as i got more and more educated in the birds, i decided this is what i want to do. >> larry: we're back with mike tyson. he has talked frequently about changing his life, finding allah, finding religion. here's a look back at what mike said back then. watch. >> being here put me in confinement, put me in a situation to understand islam. to be proud of becoming a muslim. i've become more in touch with allah. i've become humbled with the best quality. i've been braggadocio before. i'm a humbled man, just living a more easy-going life. i want to live that life. my grasp sometimes loosened because i got things that had nothing to do with my religion. i thank god that i grasped it. and it's working out

i was with my sister when the call came to say they did find a perfect match and that the kidney was specifically designated for natalie cole, so the hospital kind of flipped out. how did i get to the top of the list all of a sudden? a woman had taken care of me for one day after a hospital. i was there for an in and out procedure, and she saw me on "larry king" along with her niece, whose kidney i ended up getting because the girl passed away, and she remembered, and she said, i would ask if they would consider donating my niece cause kidney. -- niece's kidney. tavis: before we get to the kidney and the phone call about the kidney, and you mention one of your sisters. the sister you are speaking of is no longer with us. you were not just with her. >> she was in the hospital. now that i realize, she was sick for a while. it turned out she was fighting lung cancer. she started to show physical symptoms. her skin started to change. i got a call, and it was mother's day. i am thinking, she did not feel good. we went to the doctor, and he said it was very serious. i knew she would not do

and my god i was home. one day you're killing somebody they're trying to kill you and the next day you're sitting in a bar in new york city it's it's crazy. and i don't so normal nobody knows it your hand at work nobody you know if you've got a you got a headache or you've got a hole in your head you can't see. when i wrote home that i was wounded i had been in france from middle of august to i was it dad said to the newspaper reporter who interviewed him he was only there for a few days that was to me the only was a at that time not now was a real rejection of who i was as a man he didn't last he didn't make it he got hit. and i think i didn't even understand it then but that started a decline in our relationship which spiraled downward downward downward. so you don't talk about it or go sit on it. and see i was lucky why didn't i can't why didn't i both somebody you know guys do that or why did no prometheus why didn't i do this. i once tried i got on a stool and. i remember i was living in the y. in new y

i was just lying to myself. i would get drunk after every fight, just blasted #. >> do you still consider yourself an addict? >> yeah. >> larry: how long sober? >> probably 18 months. >> larry: see, if you were born an addict, your mother is an addict, that can happen at birth. >> i don't use that for no excuse. no way could i ever accomplish what i've accomplished, you know. you can't help who you are, what you are, but you can sure help your conduct. >> larry: how do you avoid temptation? >> i have responsibilities in my life. i don't want to let my children down anymore. i don't want to let my wife down anymore, i have a lot of things to do in a very short time. >> larry: we'll be back with mike tyson. let me tell you about a very important phone call i made. when i got my medicare card, i realized i needed an aarp... medicare supplement insurance card, too. medicare is one of the great things about turning 65, but it doesn't cover everything. in fact, it only pays up to 80% of your part b expenses. if you're

when i was 20 they split up. nd bewildering time for me and i felt like i had to confront all those fears i had a a kid with a piece of work because i was entering my young adulthood then and i thought i needed to be able to move forward and confront those things that scared me as a kid. so i started working on it. it just felt like the film i was born to make but it just getting rejected or ignored and financing would fall through. crazy thing would happen. i think it's important to finish what you start so i just stubbornly stayed the course and tried to will it into action and i felt cursed for all those years. like the movie was cursed, i was cursed. but the first day we started shooting and i had ryan and michelle who i couldn't have dreamed of having two better more generous capable actors on set with me and we spent so much time working on it that when we were set it was meant to be. it felt like we were alive. on the first day of shooting we were shooting this and a bulldog road down a street on a skateboa

i was pretty successful doing what i was doing and i would not let go what i was doing so i couldn't move forward. i couldn't swing forward because i was caught in this life. >> charlie: you were caught between the push and pull of one thing or the other. >> i kept going back and forth. i finally said i'm going to let this go, i'm going to give it 120%. but in the back of my mind, i didn't think it would work. >> charlie: jay-z for the hour. coming up. >> funding for "charlie rose" was provided by the following. >> additional funding provided by these funders. >> and bbloomberg. a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications ♪ >> from our studios in new york city, this is "charlie rose." >> charlie: born shawn carter, why jay-z is one of the most successful entertainers around. his albums have sold 50 million copies worldwide. each of his records has reached the top of the u.s. charts, giving him more number one albums than anyone but the beatles. he has won 10 grammy awards, 10 video awards, nine b.e.t. hip-hop awards an

i was trying i got on a stool and. i remember i was living in the y. in new york city totally alone i don't just to put my bathroom sasheer rock hung it sort of share. and why i got down was because. my friends. i had made after the war who had been through the same thing i had and i felt if i did that to myself i would betray. the bond we had. coochie vietnam federer for taint nineteen sixty six by a.p. they call it hell's half acre because of the american boy. band still there tom will do well and be akong snipers have done most of the damage today was no exception. on the. twenty seventh and foot tree the framed wolfhounds moved out to attack the snipers opened up from such perfectly camouflaged positions the most of the a copy i want the whole day what i see in one of the enemy a sergeant was hit in the shoulder and leg as he rolled over a third shot ripped to it by. a medic broke from cough and rushed to his side as he dropped to his knees to begin given a bullet smashed into the stomach. both the sergeant in the medic. and tiller the book watch wa

since i was 32, it was about time. rips. >> larry: his flaws were many, his attributes were many. did you, on finishing the book and the exhaustive research, did you like him? >> yeah. you know, and i liked him probably in a more grown-up way. when i started out with this, he was my guy. and by the end of it, he was a guy. the reason i put myself in it, is because i thought that my experience with him in atlantic city, where he also, larry, famously, after insulting me, you know, looked at me, saw me shivering on a golf course and said, can't somebody get this girl a bleepin' sweater? she's going to bleepin' freeze. i put that sweater up on the door to my office and i looked at it every day. mickey mantle invitational golf tournament sweater. and i looked at it. and it was made of 100% orlon acrylic. a substance i didn't know up until then. but the gesture, the instincts to be kind and his ability to step outside what i like to call his mick-ness, that huge bubble of celebrity, and see me rather than just be seen himsel

(laughter) and that's again, you see things happen when they're supposed to happen because i wasn't really hoping to hear it at that time. >> my name is donna, i've been a fan since "reasonable doubt" i'm a little older than you. i just want to tell you how much i appreciate that 9/11 concert that you did at madison square garden. (cheers and applause) i was a first responder and i can't tell you how much everybody appreciated in the my old apartment. i'm retired now. also my daughter wants to know will you come to hampton and do a show, hampton university? >> probably next year at we finish this album, me and kanye. (cheers and

or i was on irving so i. asked to be transferred to the armed helicopters because they never stopped they shoot rockets and machine guns. i don't think i really thought about what your job was. but. at some point. you come upon a situation where you see people you have to show. and you have a machine we call it down because it looks like your conscious brain. seeing people move. and seeing. women and children go into a house and being told that this is an enemy location. you. have to i. had this building and you have to far be the rockets from machine guns and if you're far enough away it's still not quite like shooting people. but i think it it presents a problem for most people if you think about taking a gun and shooting some. most people can't. a soldier has to be trying to do so. initially it was pretty tough i tried to. not see or to hope that it didn't hit anybody or the only cell the building exploded didn't see the people. the day i got hit the weather was exactly like this it was cold it was dead it

i was bad. i had spoken to his successor and made it very clear the united states was objecting strongly to the russian invasion anywhere. so we're at the -- in china, at the opening games of ther is -- of the ceremony. putin slides down. the conversation was pretty tough. because we were on international tv. i finally said to him, i've been telling him for seven years, he's hot blooded. he was the president of georgia. putin says i'm hot blooded. i said no, vladimir, you are cold-blooded. our relationship, and these two anecdotes, the classic came when i introduced him to barney at camp david. barney is a little scottish terrier, a tiny guy that i adore. putin kind of discussed him. and then with vladimir putin, he kindly invited us over. he was a gracious host. he said would you like to meet my dog. out bounced coney, a huge dog. and with a twinkle in his eye he said bigger, faster, and stronger than barney. yeah, he had changed. >> he changed. you had a day that changed your presidency too. yo

i was very hopeful that i could get a driver's license and learn to drive. well, the doctor told me my vision wasn't good enough. it was close, borderline, but i was legallblblind. i was told absolutely no. i couldn't get my license. i was so hurt because, from my perspective, i could see well enough to drive, at least during the daytime, but after that test and that definite no, i was devastated. it broke my heart. narrator: kadie is a second-year college student studying accounting. like lauren, kadie received a cochlear implant as a child and developed the ability to speak. it was not until she was preparing to drive that she even learned that she has usher syndrome. you know, first, they told me i had ushers, and the doctor said, "ok. you're turning 16 years old. you can't go for your license," and i was like, "that's not fair." you know, being 16 years old should the day that you're looking forward to, like, getting your license and everything, so i was very upset. i was mad. i had all these emotions running through my body. i just didn't know what to do

>> when i first was diagnosed i thought obviously i was dying. octor told me, you know this glitch in your blood work i have hepatitis c. i said, how do you get rid of it? he said, you can't. >> i'm prepared to accept some of the things people have offered me, like stress or pressure or loneliness. that would be lovely to say that was the reason, but i think that would also be a bit, a bit false. you know? i think in the end you have to come clean and say it was disloyal and shabby and goatish. >> on the set of "serving sarah," the best way to describe it is kind of a spiritual moment where for a split second you see everything kind of clearly. i can't really describe it because it's about stuff that's bigger than i can really put into words, but, it got to the point where i was wondering if i was going to survive. >> i'm here to say that my contract is up for my radio show at the end of the year and i've made the decision not to do radio anymore. >> i walked over to her and said, this is how it feels when someone rubs you up and down. and maybe i

he was a great personal friend of mine and still is. i get wonderful cooperation from the republican side. of course senator michael in the house was a minority leader. bob michael was also a great supporter of mine. during the last couple of years that i was in the white house then senator kennedy was running against me. he kind of took away a lot of the very liberal democrats to support him. they did not much want me to succeed on some of the issues. increasingly into the moderate conservative democrats and republicans. that's how we were able to have such a good batting average with the congress. >> how important has he been? >> host: i young senator. he was kind of my floor leader of some of the key issues like the nuclear power. he was very knowledgeable about it. he was working his way up to be chairman. later on. but sam being a friend in the legislature when i was governor of georgia working very closely with me. and i have to say so did our senior citizens -- senator. both made a very difficult choice to vote for the panama canal

a railroad flat when i was 19 years old. so yeah, this is the house of my dreams, yeah. the houses of my dreams. >> larry: was it as tough to put together as it appears? >> well, actually, this main house i put together in three days. because -- that's why i love this house so much. because it was basically built. all i had to do was decorate it. and i did it in three days. because when you love things, when you love your collection of things, like a four poster bed or whatever it is, you know, it fits. it fits most everywhere. so i was able to take things from my house that i sold in town and storage and fill it up and it felt like i lived here for years after three days. >> larry: are you a designer by nature? >> yeah, i think so. i think so. >> larry: do you think if you didn't have all this talent, you'd have been a designer? >> probably, yeah. i was once going to be a hat designer when i was young, when i made rounds as an actress and couldn't get any work. >> larry: why do you like it so much? >> designing? >> larry: ye

i was quite a young man, and i was reading "delta wedding." you know, a woman friend of mine said, you've got to read this novel. yeah, right, whatever. finally i said, okay, i'll read it. and can it was about a woman in the 1920s on a plantation in the mississippi delta who was putting on her daughter's wedding. and i went, well, dear, whatever, and i started reading it. and she was very concerned because the shepherdess crooks hadn't shown up from memphis, and it was dirt road, and she wasn't sure they were going to get there on time. when i first started reading that novel, i was like, who cares? my god, woman. by the time i finished that novel, i had been in this woman's skin, i'd been in her body, i'd seen the world through her eyes, and i was going, where are the damn shepherdess' crooks? [laughter] .. the story, this idea of getting to someone else's skin, a little bit hesitant. you can tell embarrassment. she says i have to say when i was in college when the war was going on, i protested all the time. very much against this war. i didn'

i was sorry to leave it behind him i was ready for some slightly less chilling. as you watch this tape i can only imagine the fear and the despair that you face for this is being recorded for viewing only after the disappearance of god's people from the earth. well it's a clash of cultures it's a closer civilization still we want to go back to the eighth century islamic law or do we will enjoy the blessings of the bush liberty. really christianity is one of the only religion i think the only one that actually respects the rights of people . when in fact it is taking place. on the station. and. wait for your moment one of the time and exclaim. god bless you. you could easily spend days sightseeing in the acetylene wilderness but i needed to . get back to the capsule body counts and that meant plenty to his taxi. amazingly even up here in the mountains in the coaxes you can still get pretty good phone reception because that doesn't help if like me you've forgotten the thing it's even stuck out here in the middle of nowhere that might not be such a big problem. at l

i was in my 40s. i was doing fairs, festivals, little small town stuff. oquist, they always looked at me as a kids act so they would put me next to a bunch of clouds. it was always the worst stage in the entire fair. and then i was playing schools and i would play a lot of elementary schools. when i got close to about 40 years old, i thought to myself, i guess the whole thing of being rich and famous is a pipe dream. because nobody's ever going to want care about a 40-year-old ventriloquist. but yeah, just like everybody else, i went and stood in line with a bag full of hopes and dreams and hoping that something would happen. what i thought would happen is that i would get on "america's got talent." i would get on two or three episodes and then it would raise people's awareness of what i do. i never in a million years thought i would win it. i thought there was no chance in anything that a ventriloquist would win "america's got talent." i just said it's not going to happen. but my goal was to get on and do things that would make people say, you know, i wan

and the rule that i worked on was this. i did not propose any procedural matter in the house of commons when i was the government chief whip which i would have thought was unfair if i had been the opposition chief whip. and so you seek to negotiate. they have to accept you won the election, you're the government and you're entitled to get your business. you have to accept they are the alternative government. they have a right to put their case in a proper reasonable fashion, proper time, give them plenty of opportunity to say what they have to say, but in the end a majority is entitled to get izzbits as well as a minority has a right to be heard. and that's the process. and i enjoyed doing that. >> when we talked to you in 1988 there was no television in the parliament. >> yes. >> i want to run another clip what you had to say about television. >> the house of commons has always been a noisy place. people have expressed emotion and feeling at all times and we all expect that. there are, i have some worries that it's getting

his eyes were fixed, i was quite sure it was a fatal wound. i gave the follow-up car a thumbs down to let them know it was a dire situation. the driver accelerated the car. we were going towards the freeway. we got up alongside and just passed the lead car which was being driven by chief curry. chief of the dallas police. the advance agent was in the car with him, and we were screaming at him to get us to a hospital, and he did that. he got in front of the car and led us to the nearest hospital which turned out to be parkland. >> from the book and from some of the interviews that i've seen, you're convinced that there were three shots. one hit the president, one hit governor connolly, and the third shot hit and killed president kennedy. >> that's correct. >> now, you know that is contradicted by the warren commission. they concluded that that first be shot hit kennedy and connolly, second shot missed, truck near a bystander, and the third shot killed him. >> i recognize that. but two of us believe that the second shot hit governor connolly. the

i was on that plane, so did i want to hurt me? ne was going to have a smooth landing one way or the other. >> oh, yeah. but it was fun, it was an amazing experience. i didn't tell that my teacher, when i was 13 or 14, we had to fly a couple of times on a private plane from new york to detroit and once from detroit to new york, and then new york to chicago. he let me fly the plane. and because he was sort of an amateur pilot himself, we worked it out. not even bad weather. tavis: i've got three or four minutes. let me take you back to motown right quick. had a brief conversation the other day with our friend, the queen, speaking of the queen, aretha franklin. and without going into the health challenge that she faces now, your thoughts about aretha. >> i love aretha, and i've loved her all my life. i think she's an incredible song stress, obviously. she consistently has had this incredible voice. i remember when she was singing gospel in this church. i was very, very little then. but i remember hearing over the radio in detroit and

i was thinking that was a year after my irish american family came here. why don't my irish american family know this information. i want to try to find out what it is. i didn't know at that time what i was undertaking. i heard it said with irish american it's not genealogy it's archaeology. i found out about that later. it's exciting to hear the nuts and bolts experience of discovery. and at the same time i know i heard from both of you that a very spiritual and unmeasurable experience happens of people come alive in the histories of your family's lives. i was wondering if you could bring alive for the audience the individuals or characters of your family's history and also if you can both reflect on this point that daniel's making of the importance in going to the lands and seeing what is there. what that experience was like for you personally. >> i thought i would read a bit at this point. i think this is a good point for that for me. and so you will hear a little bit of what my writings been like in this experience when i went to ireland for the first t

and i was very disoriented, [laughs] so i can hear you. that time the only possibility, i'd say, that was offered to me was the teach english. and i realized that i liked teaching english but probably i didn't like to teach corporate executives and people who had a lot of money to afford english classes because english classes are very, uh...a luxury. um, so i said maybe teaching is not my thing. i knew that i wanted to travel, and i knew that i wanted to live in another country. so i wanted to live for a while. i didn't know it was going to be so long. [laughs] so how was it for you moving to the united states of america, where it's really difficult to stay? yes, it was difficult. [laughs] it was difficult first of all because i didn't have papers. i overstayed my visa. i knew that i overstayed it, that was the purpose. and i thought, "okay, i'm going to find a job." it took me years to find a job. i was coming from the third world to the first world. it's like taking a tree and planting it in another land or another soil. it is very hard

so during the last couple of years i was in the white house, senator kennedy was running against me. so he kind of took away a lot of the very liberal democrats to support him. they didn't much want me to succeed on some of the issues and so i turned to the modern conservative democrats and to the moderate and conservative republicans and that is how we were able to have such a good batting average for the congress. >> host: what about sam nunn, helen part and has even? >> guest: he was important. he was a young senator then, and he was kind of my floor leader on some of the key issues like the -- things that apply to nuclear power. and he was very knowledgeable about it and he was working his way of to be the chairman leader on of the defense committee in the senate. but sam, being a friend and the legislature when i was governor of georgia, worked for a closely with me, and i have to say, by the way, then senator talmadge made it very difficult choice to vote for the panama canal treaties, which was the most courageous vote, i believe, that the u.s. senate has ever cast. as a matter

i was digging a hole. in the dirt because we knew we were going to be attacked by artillery and i was had michele in my hand and then suddenly i was flying to the air like a huge huge sledgehammer to get me thrown me way into the air and i didn't know it as come back to the ground going up up up and then suddenly i fell back. put my hand up and i felt the peace of. some in my head and then i looked at my hands and my would just scarlet with blood and i looked at my back at my butt and my butt was the you could see the white fat in this huge hole in my but i remember always lying there and. the many came over and he tried to fix me up and he was leaning over me and i watched the tip of his nose disappear a piece of shrapnel cut off the tip of his nose and then the blood from his nose merged with my nose and the next thing i knew i was in a stretcher i still on hawkeye yet because i was still paralyzed on my right side. and then i had the operation on my head and what i still remember i grit my teeth is he i

i was skinny. i grew up in rural south jersey. i had bad skin and greasy -- i was not popular with the boys. robert was a gifted draftsman, very gifted. i struggled with my poems. i struggled with my drawing. i was sort of self-conscious, and robert, he was shy and sometimes inarticulate, but he did not lack confidence, and robert would not rest until he instilled the confidence that he had in himself in me, and his belief in himself was so unshakable, and he equated his belief in the equally, so it sounds -- eventually, he was successful in making me feel like i was really worth something, that i was not being a muse as a beautiful thing, but he was both muse and maker. i have never lost it. i have had tragedy in my life. i have not wanted to get out of bed. i have gone through a lot of difficult things, but i never lost that confidence that he instilled in me, and right now, it is blossoming. tavis: your comment a moment ago that there were days when you felt like you did not want to get out of bed. i'm fascinated by your confes

was supposed to go. she did it i'm getting the feeling that i probably should have paid more attention. now it's fine good. it was becoming more. so. to me and moved on to the next stage. was now that you can see the grounds work has been pretty. it's possible to embroider this. each unique can sell for up to one hundred fifty dollars but it seems that all that silliness company makes. well both of these women here makes the dolls and she dresses them all in national costume. was like walking into a little girl's dream world these dolls are all individually decorated and have costumes from a set and other parts of the caucuses and if you don't have a doll's house to put them in some will be just as happy on the teapot. but this is much more than just through a new show each one of these could be a collector's item i'm just wondering if we might find a couple of life size versions of these two anyway. with gift buying sorted i was ready to head into the mountains and the region has plenty of dedicated volunteers to make sure you have a safe trip. you only have to see these amazing views t

senators, very distinguished, and i was able to prevail primarily because i kept satisfaction that he was one of the terrific forces for the party this year. >> host: let me shift gears a little bit to the middle east with the iranian hostage crisis. they essentially all came home. did you ever hear from them? >> guest: quite often. as a matter of fact when i go on a book tour usually one or two of the hostages on the tour will say ahead of time they want to meet me behind the scenes and i will obviously give them a free book and have photographs made and i am very proud they were doing quite well. this is not as much as it used to be after i left office in a good many of them would actually drive to planes and let me know in a dance. a bookend come and spend a few minutes with me and thank me for the fact that they did become home, they came home safe and free. so i've had a good and friendly relationship with all of them so far as i know. >> host: how, with iran as so much a part of your administration and have us believe in your book, you talk about things start to white house. the

i was like, i -- what am i supposed to do? i was in a panic. sign in the corner of the airport saying, lost and found. and i thought -- that's me. i'm lost and i need to be found. and i walk in and i never forget it. there was this -- >> jimmy: a hooker found you. >> no, the opposite. there was this cop, this american cop sitting there, you know, big fat, in the heat of the night, you know, sitting there like this, you know, big fat belly and sweat under here, you know, and a gun. i had never seen a policeman with a gun. i was like, terrified. oh, my god. and i was crying and he said, yeah, what do you want? i said, i'm lost and i need to be found and he said -- my bags, you know -- and he said, i explained to him the whole situation. he said, we'll sort you out. he picked up the phone, first hotel he called i was booked into. he said, i'll take you there. he put me in the police car, he put his blue lights on. >> jimmy: wow. you got a police escort to the hotel. >> with the light going. >> jimmy: well, that's american hospitality for you. >> i

senators, three distinguished, and i was able to prevent, to prevail, primarily because i capsule washat the satisfaction that is one of the driving forces for the tea party this past year. >> host: what me shift gears to the middle east with the iranian hostage crisis. they eventually all came home. do you ever hear from any of them? >> guest: quite often. when i go on a book tour, usually one of two of the hostages on the book tour will send word ahead of time they want to meet me behind the scenes and always i will give them a free book and have photographs made and i am very proud of the fact they are doing quite well. this is not as much as it used to be after i left office. a good many of them will drive to planes and let me know in advance and spend a few minutes with me and thank me for the fact they did become home. it is come home safe and free. so i have had a good friendly relationship i would say with all of them so far as i know. >> host: how, with iran with so much part of your administration in the white house diaries and your book and you talk about the two white hous

i was absolutely -- i was flooded.tion that i could have, shame, guilt, horror, fear, desperation. >> larry: why do you do that? why put yourself through that. >> that's a great question. >> larry: that's why i asked it. >> you want to know the truth. >> larry: yeah. >> besides the fact that i'm willing and open to be a work in progress and share that, i get literal mail from people who say a mother who says to me because of what you said on oprah, i tried it with my child today and we're closer. i get affirmations from the fans who say i tried what you said. for instance, when we did oprah, i said that doesn't work for me. she said i'm going to use that. i'm a teacher and you know me pretty well, i believe in being a teacher to the next generation who are out there wondering who they are. if they're going to make it, how to stay grounded because i was 18 years old and famous. i didn't have a great teacher at the time. we have a life coach that is saying your mother will always be your mom but you can also tell her and

>> he he wasn't i was gay. i was ac/dc. this moment where they say two gay robbers in the bank and john's character says, i'm not gay. >> i'm not a homosexual. >> john says to sydney, why do i say i'm gay? why do i say i'm not gay? and sydney looked at him and said well -- they started talking, knowing john, i know this is going to go on for a while. sydney starts to satisfy his question but it won't get satisfied. and he goes on and on. but i knew enough to go off to the side and sort of practice whatever i wanted to -- he didn't understand why he said it. you hear sydney say, you're saying it because it's in the script and i'm telling you to say it. >> larry: that was a great movie. >> the thing about movies that's so interesting, you can -- and i've heard dustin hoffman talk like this. can you suddenly doing something in a movie that's absolutely spontaneous and right there. like in "dog days" when i was going to say attica, attica. >> attica! attica! attica! >> i have to go out there and talk to a mob and this guy, bert

i was 38 years old, die hard bachelor and all i could think was getting that school built. i went to a fund raise er the fair month in san francisco where my hero was speaking. it was getting late and people were nodding off and he was going on and on about the queens coronation so i went to the back to get some fresh air and there was a beautiful woman in the back wearing a dress and black combat books and her name was, tara bishop and six months later got married and now we're living happily ever after in montana. [applause] i also a guy name keesh ran a company called laser image and he taught me how to use a computer and tara after watching me for several days one day, i was writing the fund raising letters and i learned on the computer but she said let me show you something. it's called cut and paste. so, with her now we could write hundreds of fund raising letters and in pakistan i learned to use a local laptop. slate board there. the whole village participated in the building school and it was a joy ous time. this is 18 miles - on that bridge - i didn't mention it but

was that time well invested? i do believe it was in the long run. jesse helms and i-- we must never forget that he's a courtly southern gentleman, and he's not an uncivil person at all in person. he's quite charming, in fact. he and i obviously were going differ on many, many things, but he was an important person and an important person to get to know, to pay attention to. i tried to understand what amendments he was going to bring up. of course, he would never tell me. he's a secretive man too. but i didn't want to alienate this person any more than he already felt alienated. he was disappointed in me, because i didn't do a lot of things that he wanted me to do. but at least we had a civil relationship. at one point, you get a list of concerns from jesse helms' office detailing a number of grants that are attributed to the n.e.a. and in some cases, the n.e.a. is not involved at all. but in a number of cases, it's extremely controversial art where there may have been some funds used in connection with the n.e.a. and there has to be a temptation in t

he was firing and i didn't how my weapon was but on the die i brought my way up here are. so on my own is to get. hand grenades off my belt. cost a couple grenades. now the to god. then we could see as far as we could see there would be a call that was coming up to our parameter. and we called in for an direct fire and couldn't get it we called and for permission to return we couldn't get in because my comment was getting over wrong. so welcome on the toll if you just try to find a place and spend the night there. we told the marshy and he was on the one that was kill and one on a bomb crater and we sat there on night. eventually the mechanizing only came in and we loaded the marshy on. his brains actually fell out as well we were we were moving in. the still i still could that jury. and remember it said in that corridor on i with. aggro on them but it is a it sounded hollow. but it was easier to go back and kill more that's part of what what drove me. was very day and. sleep. sleep. sleep sleep. sleep. sleep. sleep. sleep. sleep sleep. sleep some people i love animals. de

i was, well -- you know -- okay. idn't take it that way. i did a little bit, but that's all right. >> i thought you did. i thought. so the people would say to you, "whatever you do, don't go out walking at night. it's kind of dangerous around here." you know, we went to jamaica. it's just the same. it's lagos, it's great, it's funky. so linda and i go out walking. we'd been to some friend's house. we walked back. we decide to walk back. so a car pulls up. like, we're just walking along. a car pulls up. [ makes car brake noise ] and -- i'm -- i'm crazy. i think the guy wants to give us a lift. [ laughter ] no. >> jimmy: oh, my god. >> so it was crazy. 'cause it -- so the guy rolls down his window. before automatic windows. rolls down his window, and he looks up. i said, "hey, man, that is so cool. you're gonna give us a lift." i said, "but we're walking. we're great. you get off. go on. get -- off you go." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, just give him a beatles thing. >> so he's like -- he sort of went -- put the window b
