I think a major act of leadership right now, call it a radical act, is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together, using our experiences.

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way.

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.

When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.

Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care.

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.

I don't consider myself a star.

I got in drama class in high school and I only got in there because there were girls and I thought maybe I could make a grade above a C in something.

I've always been a person that believes in eating often and eating smart, clean meals.

Often the ideas in the show start out as ideas that make you laugh - outrageous "what if" ideas. I wanted an outlet for doing those.

No literature is complete until the language it was written in is dead.

The more time I spend with our people, the more I find out about our business.

I am certainly a fearful person, but fearless in my writing. So there's that other person inside.

Build an "inclusive narrative" that goes beyond race, class, religion, etc., so that all may participate in the "the great debates".
