I often cannot believe the things I do.

I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.

Every time a crime was committed by a Muslim, that person's faith was mentioned, regardless of its relevance. When a crime is committed by a Christian, do they mention his religion? ... When a crime is committed by a black man, it's mentioned in the first breath: 'An African American man was arrested today...' But what about German Americans? Anglo Americans? A white man robs a convenience store and do we hear he's of Scottish descent? In no other instance is the ancestry mentioned.

We see the beauty within and cannot say no.

I think I'm far too hopeful and trusting. That's something I got from my mum.

The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.

We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.
