I don't trust lawyers and journalists.

Coming from an Asian culture, I was always taught to respect my elders, to be a better listener than a talker.

I honestly never had the biological need to reproduce until I met my husband. But by the same token, even if we were unsuccessful, we were totally okay with adopting.

There are so many kids in this world, and in this country, that need homes. And so we're perfectly content to look into adoption one day, if for some reason we aren't able to have a biological child.

We have had a long held myth of American exceptionalism.

Hospitality is one of the things the Afghan population is famous for, but nobody says that anymore. Now they're terrorists - and they're not. They're people.

Too often, we spend our days thinking about what we don't have rather than what we do have. Be grateful every day.
