There are no secrets at our house. We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it.

You don't really get to choose who you fall in love with. Love chooses you.

I like Billy Beane for the fact that he - his idiosyncrasies, that he can't watch the games without getting too emotional, that he often has food down his shirt, that he tends to break a few chairs now and then. I mean, these things make him human.

No more excuses. I can't blame anything on my parents. I'm responsible for my mistakes and my choices.

My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.

I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful actually.
