The type of work I like is pure and simple and profound.

Earth is the material with the most potential because it is the original source material.

You don't protect Mark McGwire. The only way to protect him is hit 70 homers yourself.

Getting better from depression demands a lifelong commitment. I've made that commitment for my life's sake and for the sake of those who love me.

To protest, I stood in the place of a waste receptacle and opened my mouth. That's how I lost my virginity *laughs*
