It's hard for me to write about anything personal because I get way too personal.

There's no question that I have always wanted to be mayor. I know I am strategically not supposed to be saying that, but I don't care.

I really, really, loved being an elected official. But I also love what I'm doing now. I thrive when I can fight for people and I'm doing it now as a lawyer.

Enjoy the ride!

All children are curious, I think, but not all adults are.

Purity in body and heart May please some--as for me, I make no boast. For, as you know, no master of a household Has all of his utensils made of gold; Some are wood, and yet they are of use.

What shall we call this undetermin'd state, This narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless oceans, That whence we came, and that to which we tend?

You must find a way to express your ideas and compel your audience to react through the idea itself, and then figuring out what the best representative of that idea may be, and bringing it to life.

What's got me excited about the education space is the growth of the Internet over the next 10, 20, 30 years.

You can't beat life when you consider the alternatives.
