The only way not to be afraid is to join with other people who are also afraid.

I'm particularly committed to the political people who needed defense. I understand that they're fighting a bigger war than just, "Let me go get some money for cocaine tonight."

My anti-authoritarian instincts let me directly to criminal defense work.

Lawyering is very individualistic. There are lawyers who are going to be that persistent birddog, they're never going to give up on the client, they're going to defend people.

I would never defend a cop - though I did on a few private cases, when cops were acting not as cops but as private citizens.

The only thing we have is each other.

If you make a mistake as a prosecutor, your mistakes go home, whereas if you make a mistake defending, they go to jail.

Your goal is to make a better world through the work you do. It's not always possible, and you have to earn a living.

You're working not for the corporate interest, not for the government interest, not for your own self-interest. You have a higher calling.

I took anything that came across my doorstep. I started getting a reputation.

I would never take a case that had to do with abusing children. They're the true innocents.

Forgiveness is not simply a single act, it is a full process.

The things that make me different are the things that make me ME. -Piglet

If you compare yourself with others you may become vain or bitter for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

An area of life that does not have hope is under a lie.

Feminism is built on believing women's accounts of sexual use and abuse by men.

There is no holier spot of ground than where defeated valor lies by mourning beauty crowned

Love is commitment; love is a relationship that never gives up.

My professional life has nothing to do with my personal life and vice versa.

Put all your eggs in one basket... the handle's going to break. Then all you've got is scrambled eggs.

We must be gentle now we are gentlemen.
