You tell them - you tell them there's a cost.....Every decision we make in life, there's always a cost.

All writers steal from their own lives.

...as your father, my instinct is to protect you ... Other people will want to protect you too. But remember that you are not a damsel in distress, waiting for some prince to rescue you. Forget the prince. With your brain and your resourcefulness, you can rescue yourself.

there's nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood. And understanding someone else.

You tell them - you tell them there's a cost.....Every decision we make in life, there's always a cost.

As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life - no matter how impossible it seems - you need to fight for it.

As I now often tell my daughter Lila, no matter what stage of life you're in, when you want something - no matter how impossible it seems - you need to fight for it. When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you've ever fought before.
