I spent a lot of my childhood not fitting in, in a lot of different ways.

I guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.

Sorry, Vern. I guess a more experienced shopper could have gotten more for your seven cents.

The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love; the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.

I have to finish this book tour of almost 30 cities.

There's a victory in letting go of your expectations.

If I don't see myself as a victim, then I'm not a victim.

I think that we have to be very careful about who comes here from the Middle East.
