and i was thinking how can i defeat this. since a handset chord was long and i would walk back and forth. i would be scratching my back and rubbing my back on the phone and i got the guard used to this behavior and then he actually put my hand behind my back and i could feel the hook and i thought one day and i was in a conversation and i just ended the call and i kept on talking as if the call didn't end and i leaned down the switch hook and you have 18 cents before the phone is going to go beep, beep, beep. i know this from my own freaking experience. 5 seconds later i go to scratch my back and i dial plus another phone number and then the next thing that's -- the next thing that is going to happen an operator is going to come on and say who's the collect call from so i just said, yeah, tell uncle harry kevin says hello. that's when the operator goes and she said who's the operator, who are you calling from and on a court ordered phone restriction. that last only a few weeks then one day my cell door opens. it's the executiv

then i was so curious about what was going on. i just had to know if i hacked into the local sulfone provider, kind of like at&t, but this was actually pactel cellular. i was able to identify the telephone of the fbi agents that were telling me -- chasing me. i was able to do traffic analysis, so i could see who was telling him, who they were calling, and to those people were calling, and i was able to give location information. i was basically watching the fed's trying to capture me playing this cat and mouse game. eventually i was able to set up a device at my office, i was working as happy i inlaw says lewis. i was able to set up a device so if any of the fbi phones came within one or 2 miles of me it would send me an alert. my fbi early warning system. so one day on september 20th 1992 i'm walking into the office early, which is kind of on like me, and i put in the cut to get into the office. i keep hearing this speed, beat, beat the monday. what did they do, change the code? as i walked into my office the beeping is to the lat

a culture i realize that was a lot japanese. even though i hadn't grownup in it and i was as american as apple pie in so many ways that i started to learn more about the culture and i thought, i'm more japanese than chinese in many ways. this book gave that to me. that was the greatest gift of the samurai's garden. that and the fact that somehow people kept reading it. it was the book i was worried about and i had sent it to my editor and she called. i'm telling you the gossip stuff now. i think in a way that's more interesting. i was very nervous because i didn't know how she would receive this book. she called and said to me, well, it's very different. [laughter] and then nobody said anything. i didn't say anything and she didn't i didn't know what to say different good or bad so just with quiet. she said, i think this about part of -- she talked to me about story lines. i realized wow, they are going to publish it. and we talked about it as we would talk about a man script that would be accepted. i'm thinking, i can't believe

he didn't know i was coming was at the packing house. i remember seeing him, millions of apples coming down the flumes. my brother was looking at every single piece of fruit to be sure it was shipped correctly. he was to tender. i was seeing him from a long shot. i thought oh my god, all he needs is a sweater, he'd look just like are mr. rogers. i began to realize i didn't get it. that was the beginning. then i began bombing him with questions about apples and fruit. there was one moment that did change things in my perception, which is we were walking one day, i worked the fields and packing house routine, 5:00 a.m. routine. we were walking at dawn with the pickers who were all working, my brother was walking ahead of me. i saw all the shades of green, i was able to get my own ego out of the way. i thought he is amazing. this brother of mine is amazing. he has built up something astonishing here. it was almost like he was no longer invisible to me. i could begin to see him. then when i watched him walking ahead of me, i realized he has t

i was out on patrol. and near hip. and. we took a couple of prisoners and whether they were combatants or not you know. patrol was led by americans but every vietnamese arvin there and they were turned over to our and. our the news the old fashioned methods of interrogation force torture that was pretty common practice. i tell you as bad as the bat is that treatment was the cynicism that attached to it was the part that was really sickening i thought and that's about everything i've been taught to be thing i've learned everything i grew up with this is just not the way you treat human beings. there's a long time for that you could have a cause think yes. i got out of the military in nine hundred sixty six i got out because of the things i saw the things i was doing and this reasons that we were given for doing it was a personal protest it was just me getting out of the service that there was no movement to join i found the war in vietnam more and more repulsive and i felt that i just couldn't be a part of it eventually i sai

i thought it was good. when i feud with the news here are we near colonel in basic training and this crap and reports going to school or a school or like i want some. to really get over it i try to spend my whole life having people live a better life can basically feel better since winners are still around. they tried to trick me into a kill they tried to trick me into somebody who could take a life if there's one thing in my life i feel like they're ever called. to say i didn't pick up the credit card. straight from my hand. kind of my will be in print so you get the whole problem for all of. gotos almost true which draws a pacific. diversion from what you do on a troop ships old set up on a douglas nightmare raps a lot of time to get to where we are what we're going to what was right or off we go back and forth back and forth and we always are looking cool and all those old we're doing the right thing because as the world all. during the vietnam war any two war movement emerged that altered the course of h

when it was time to write the second book and i knew i wanted to explore my japanese side it was going to be difficult in the way that i didn't know the culture. right away i had to learn a lot. it was something that was not engrained in me besides the story. i sat down and thought about the story my mother told me about her brother being ill. he at one point went from hong kong to japan to recuperate. he was the one that wanted to be an artist and wanted to paint. i thought about that because it must have been hard growing up in hong kong to be far away from everything and have a dream and get sick at this point. i thought u is there a story here? that's the way it begins for writers. people think things jump out and we have it in our head. it's the opposite we have nothing in our head. we turn on the machine and praying for something to come. with women of the silk i researched for 6 amongs and read and read and read. in one book i found 2 lines about the woman silk workers and knew immediately that's hai wanted to write about. it came to me like a dream that every writer prays for t

and i was a marine. he was another person in iraq to do his job and when i met him he was totally unassuming. he walked up to me and said hey i'm eric and i'm here to help you find the bad guys in fallujah and i want to do what we have to do to get it done. we worked tirelessly, nights with no sleep. there wasn't a whole lot of eating or a whole lot of anything going on really for a long period of time. just getting the job done and that was the eric ainu. he was also the guy that strapped on a weapon and walk beside me in the streets and rode beside me in the vehicles and put his life on the line just as readily as i and my fellow marines it and when you have somebody like that you trust him immediately and he appreciate who they are and none of the background, none of the ph.d. or any of that stuff really matters other than who that person is and how they are going to support you and how they are going to do their job so that is eric i know and when i came home from iraq because after i got knocked in t

i was in jail. i had all this ambition, all these things i wanted to do, and i say all the time that my gift sent me to a place my character could not keep me, and at the same time i was developing my interesting and intellect and specialized knowledge of politics, there was a lot of other things that distracted me from developing my spirituality, maturing as a husband and doing that in a way i can succinctly do both at the same time. there are a lot of different things, and i talked about one after the other in the book, and people will share of that testimony. >> i caught myself misquoting the bible. now " is that we fall short of the glory of god. we never fall short of his grace. i want to be clear of that. how much of this has to do with getting too much too soon, and i am almost scared to ask that question, because i never want to demonize young folks who have been to achieve at a young age, but as any of this have to do with having too much, too soon? >> the short answer is no, but it is on an

so i ended up doing that for a while. it wasoutrageous. $250 a week for a room in this truly, creepy motel which i will not name again. but one of the, main points about that, there was no fridge, no microwave, no hot plate. and that plenty i was totally dependent on convenience stores and fast-food places for food, which is a very expensive way to eat, never mind, healthy or unhealthy. the rest of these motels were filled with, families squeezed in into same sized room that is my comment. a lot of people are stuck with those things. let's see. in minnesota you worked at walmart. let's see, seems working at low-paying jobs like walmart leads to shopping at walmart because of the cost. so it's a circle, it is a vicious cycle. how can we beat it? this is from three people, nathan, dane and victoria. where are you? hi. yeah. that's a good question. i don't think i really know the answer but that's true. it's very cheap and very cheap not only because the retail workers are paid so little but because the people who make the products

that's what i began with. it was the first time i said, this character not necessarily has to be asian. none of these characters necessarily have to be asian. i was of mind opposite of what you are saying happened through the book. what happened was the more i started to research when i discovered warner's, ime wantedo write. i was feeling older as a person and wanted to translate that into a book. when i thought i would write about the care taking situation and wanted to write about a mother and daughter and i thought was there an aging disease? where children grow old quickly. by the time they are 7 or 8 they look like little old people because they age so quickly. the first thing i asked myself is there a version of this disease for older people. does it start later in a person's life? as i'm researching i discover warner's syndrome and that's how it came to be that particular disease in the book. i thought this works because she would have a life before the disease started to age her in the 20's as opposed to bei

i was unrecognizable. our daughter lily was 2 at the time. she thought i was a monster. . our son eric was 7. he thought it was fantastic. i could scare his friends. i had a girlfriend who took the liberty, took it upon herself to put a paper on the mirror so i wouldn't scare myself. but it was such a wonderful time in so many ways. i'm fortunate that i healed. my husband was afraid that as well as being a commercial fisherman he's an e.r. doctor. he's usually so calm. to see him have that look of panic, he said a blow to the head like that could have been fatal. i just have a small scar on my nose. >> you went from being in an instant one of the most beautiful women in the world to somebody with their face smashed in with a totally different dynamic when you looked in the mirror. what did you learn about that? >> the minute it happened i thought, okay, this is going to be an adventure. i had no idea what the outcome was going to be. during that time, our business had the largest growth that it's ever experienced and for the fist time, no one could say it had anything to

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

as i was reading it, i was thinking, boy, i don't know anything about myself. have the ability to be very open about things with a great deal of speed. was it difficult to get to that point? >> no, i think it started with just being raised by my mother, who taught me to love myself. and she loved me so strong that i felt confident in myself enough to be around whoever i am, whoever i'm around, i can be myself. >> jon: uh-huh. >> and i'm not afraid to be open because we're all human being, man. we all have great things about us, and we all have flaws. we just are works in progress. >> jon: why did you say when you said "flaw," you looked directly at me, because i thought that was interesting.

grew up not really knowing about race until i was 6 years old and i went to s because in ts' household, everyone was mixed. the first day i went to school, my parents were the only ones affected not match, and we walked in, and i remember this kid ran into the hallway, looked at all of us, and he goes, your dad is white, and that is the first time i said, what does that mean? i knew they looked different, but that was not an issue, so i grew up not thinking about it. the interesting thing was that my mother told me you need to embrace both sides of your culture but understand society is going to view you only as black. she told me that as a 6-year- old, and i did not understand that completely until later. leading to going to school, there were always clicks. when i went to be a junior high, mexicans were in one click. i was in santa monica on edge of venice, so you have the mexicans, the surfers, the dungeons and dragons, and star trek kids. you have all of these groups of people, and i kept it moving. i was into parliament and led zeppelin. everyone had their groups, and

he was -- i think he was 3 1/2 at the time. e born into and of course -- >> so she was showered with love by lots of people. very close family. when did you realize that amy had a real talent for music? when was the first time? because you're a musical guy, always have been. what was the moment for you when you thought, okay, wow, this is interesting? >> well, there's so many stories. i mean, the story that i tell over and over is is that we -- she got a scholarship for sylvia young as an actress and as a dancer. and we went to -- >> that's like an acting school. >> it's an acting school. they do music too. but we went to the first show that she did, my wife and i. not janice. jane. we went to see her. and whether the song that she was singing was in the wrong key, but she didn't sing it very well at all. and i remember saying to my wife, thank god she can act. because she had some acting jobs and she was doing okay. and then the following year she said, dad, i'm singing again. and i said to my wife, oh, my god, she's singing ag

but one of the shows that i really enjoyed was "l.a. law." the reason i liked "l.a. law" was that it was about the kind of business of law. you know? a lot of it was about the real, you know, business. you have to work hard in that context to get drama. it's harder to write a show like "l.a. law" because you have to find drama almost in the ordinary practice of law. to my way of thinking, you know, doing a crime show or even a criminal defense show, that's the easy stuff to do. you know? there's drama that's inherent in it. the hard stuff to do is say, like "the paper chase" where they're going to the library. really. so you've got to figure out a way to make that interesting. we did a show called "scavenger hunt," a massive search through all the libraries. and it's actually a very exciting show. but when we went to the network, they said, what are you shooting? we said we're shooting an episode with seven libraries. and they were like, we got to cancel this. how did osborn get here? you know? that's the hard kind of stuff for television. i'd like to see more of that

[applause] >> mr. mayor, thank you very much. i am just delighted that you were in position to be able to present this to me, and i will work and see if i can win it next

i was in lab class with him. ou. >> jimmy: wow. >> it's a terrible name, a "wow" class. >> jimmy: work out wednesday. >> like, it's character building. oh, god. >> jimmy: that was super fun. i love you guys. now you're hosting "saturday night live." >> bananas, absolutely crazy. >> jimmy: i mean, come on. are you excited? [ cheers and applause ] >> it's nuts. it's nuts. it's, like, i've watched that my entire life, like, sneaking down, like, watching it between the crack of the door when i was not supposed to be watching it in our family room. weirdly, stand behind the door and try not to laugh. [ light laughter ] because i was supposed to be in bed. but it's kind of insane. >> jimmy: did you freak out when you found out? >> yes! >> jimmy: when lorne called -- >> i was with annie mumolo, who wrote "bridesmaids" with kristin wiig. i don't know if you have them out here? do you have -- ♪ living spaces [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: you have to sing the name of it? >> there's an ad they always sing. and it's like -- "c

i was holding one of the babies. the baby to my cousin, and i was comforting the security guard who -- you know, he blamed himself. there's nothing to blame himself for. again, it was quite natural. and i was comforting him and i was comforting my cousin, i was comforting my uncle. and i was obviously in shock, but as i was sitting there taking it all in, i just had thoughts coming into my mind. amy winehouse foundation, amy winehouse foundation, amy winehouse foundation, music, horses, children. these are the things that were important to her. not necessarily in that order. i don't think children were less important than horses but she loved horses, she loved music and she loved kids. this is what was in my mind immediately. amy winehouse foundation. amy winehouse foundation. she was basically guiding me and telling me what to do, that's what i believe. >> did you expect this call? >> not at all. had this happened three or four years previously, to be honest with you, i would have held my hands up and said, fair eno
