I don't believe in happy endings.

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

A Mr. (save, perhaps, some half dozen in the nation,) always needs a note of explanation.

I love Obama because he is proof all black people don't look alike. Nobody every told me, 'Good morning, Mr. President.' We don't all look alike.
