It seems to me if you don't know anything about child development you shouldn't intimate in your "reporting" that you do.

I don't think I'll ever lose the feeling that I had when I read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' - Harper Lee was going back into her childhood. I grew up in a real small town - Lee's was in the South, mine the Northwest - but small towns have a lot in common. There was such a revelation in knowing that a story could be told like that.

You have to be mad in the language you're mad in.

I can't think of a subject that is taboo for me, unless it's one I simply don't know anything about.

Once a thing is known,it can't be UNknown.

And I think if you're going to be with somebody, you owe it to them to show yourself.

I walk outside and scream at the top of my lungs, and it maybe travels two blocks. A whale unleashes his cry, and it travels hundreds or even thousands of miles. Every whale in the ocean will at one time or another run into that song. And I figure whales probably don't edit. If they think it, they say it...Whale talk is the truth, and in a very short period of time, if you're a whale, you know exactly what it is to be you.
