The capacity of young people to persevere, even under the most adverse conditions, never ceases to amaze me.

I don't like the word 'calculated' because it sounds pejorative. Intentional. Intentional is better, I think. Wild in passion and intentional in expression.

When food becomes the enemy, every time we lose the fight we not only gain weight, but lose our self-esteem as well.

The news is not gender-neutral, but it's usually reported as though it's gender-neutral.

I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.

I think I look good for my age. I've always looked younger than I really am. I'm 67 and I look about, maybe 62 or something like that. And I think my healthy lifestyle has paid off. I suffer from osteoarthritis. That's genetic and there's nothing I can do about that, except to try and not jump up and down, but rather swim and bike, instead of jumping up and down.

I think that, like most of us, I was born with an innate goodness. And I believe that God has seen that in me and has protected me through times when I should have died so I could fulfill my potential and do his work.
