There are so many people I love in the United States, and I've had such great adventures in this country and have been so well received by people here.

If I try to understand what it means to be a Christian, I look at the two instructions that were given in the Bible that are paramount, and those are to love God with all your heart and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. That's it.

The people who have impressed me most - and the closest I've come to having heroes - are the people who have devoted their lives to making things better for others. These are people whose names you never hear, people who work for Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam, and other humanitarian groups. They're just out there in the world, doing stuff.

In between effect and cause and just beyond the range of normal sight, this glittering joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws.

Most of the time, our deeper, stronger feelings are things we all have in common.

One day you're waiting for the sky to fall, The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all.

The trouble with normal is it only gets worse.
