I'm part of a community that holds each other up, and it's been great to be held up too.

If I had given up everything that my life was about ... I'd let cancer win before it needed to.

My father had gone to Vietnam.

I'm a recovering lawyer. The practice of law has changed. Every agreement is a fight.

Either you push forward with the things that you were doing yesterday or you start dying.

At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by the highest public office we attained in our lifetime, if that were true the current president (George W. Bush) would hold as much esteem as Franklin Roosevelt in our country, and Nelson Mandela in his. That cannot be the case. Rather, we will each be judged by the mark we've left on others.

Everybody has their burdens, their grief that they carry with them.
