I really want to understand the mind so I can be more comfortable with the way people are. Being comfortable with people is incredibly important.

I want to be the rock that floats.

I'm very sensitive to the English language. I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collect old dictionaries. Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention.

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

I can't get caught up in darkness. I just don't. I always want to gravitate towards light. I love picking yourself up or surviving or being grateful for the good stuff and not getting lost in the tough stuff. The discipline is so natural for me.

I'd definitely be the kind of parent who enabled my child's dreams. I'd just watch and nurture and guide them. I have the blueprints of what not to do... I think I'd be a good parent, actually.

I just want to make sure I have a sense of balance between work and life, because work is my life and the lines can get really blurry.
