Every day's a negotiation and sometimes it's done with guns.

Stay crunchy, even in milk.

I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of.

TV's like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn't be rapids, and it wouldn't be as much fun.

I like knowing about everything, and I think that really helps me in my business.

Each of us has a mission . . . each of us is called to change the world, to work for a culture of life, a culture forged by love and respect for the dignity of each human person.
