I wouldn't say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf

Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.

I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

Thank God, who delivered us from great death, the doom of distress.

You hold one feather tightly in your hand, close your eyes and concentrate. The location of the other feather will appear in your mind and the magic will take you there.

Solid information is necessary, but insufficient. We also need to present that information in ways that are inspiring and accessible. That's where stories come in.

I'm also 31 years old. It's not like I'm some kid who can be slapped across the newspaper pages like some harlot.

You must overcome death by finding God in it.

An historian should yield himself to his subject, become immersed in the place and period of his choice, standing apart from it now and then for a fresh view.

An idea, in the highest sense of that word, cannot be conveyed but by a symbol.
