Nothing brings people together more, than mutual hatred.

For me, speaking to anyone - on a stage, in an elevator - I am looking for impact and connection. The same goes for writing.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.

In my bright, utopian future world, they will hand out college educations like cups of water at the end of the L.A. Marathon.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

Enough Americans saw fit to give president Obama a second term. I don't think there will be many people keeping their Romney/Ryan bumper stickers on their cars.

My whole access into culture was violent. Violence is something I understand. Don't like it, don't condone it, but I sure understand where it comes from.
