I remember from my father's funeral that the minister kept using a metaphor about life of a prism. And I took that away like a cherished image.

I don't talk a lot when I interview. My job is to get out of the way.

I am not myself; I am the potential of myself.

I think we need leadership that helps us remember that part of what we are about is caring about more than the person right next to us, but the folks across the way.

I think as a kid I always liked to listen to people. I loved hearing stories.

I think some of our most talented people are not going to pick the arts as a way that they're going to spend their lives.

My work is about giving voice to the unheard, and reiterating the voice of the heard in such a way that you question, or re-examine, what is the truth.
