Adopted. Big Deal; so was Superman

...racist thought and action says far more about the person they come from than the person they are directed at.

Something about the joy and pain of that moment, something about the excruciating contrast, made me feel that no matter what happens now, my life has been worth it. What a ride.

I think when you’re dying you start looking for important things in the corners. You can’t let anything that seems even semi-important pass, because it passes forever. Things take on meaning.

You put yourself out there in the truest way you can and hope others do the same. You'll connect or you won't, but you did what you could.

I believe there was a big bang and that because of that we are all connected into infinity, and I know very little having to do with human beings that doesn't also have to do with connection.

I have made a career of creating characters who fight school authority and chomp at the bit to get out into the 'real' world and live their lives, mostly because that's the kind of teenager I was.

I'd rather be a flash than a slowly burning ember.

But the truth doesn't need to be known, or believed, to be true.

Nothing exists without its opposite.

...we can say we love each other if my life is better because you're in it and your life is better because I'm in it.

The other person always has a point, Listen to each other, and you'll hear it.

We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen.

I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.

Everyone is beautiful, everyone is perfect, and everyone is lovely.

JLo and I did not get along well when we worked together. I don't think there's love lost. I don't know if there was a lot of love from the very beginning.

You either love or you hate. You live in the middle, you get nothing.

If I don't fish in the morning, I fish in the evening.

I've been blessed with a good head on my shoulders and quite a good ability of discernment. I can see through people.

When writing isn't going well-then the bad thing about being a writer is that I also have the freedom and flexibility to do something badly, and no one else can fix it for me.

One of the biggest mistakes humans make is to believe there is only one way. There are many diverse paths leading to what you call God.
