I always hope to be a better person tomorrow than today.

Getting to St. Mary's College was a big deal for me because that essentially led to me getting to go to NYU.

It felt like it disrupted my rhythm in growing up. But I will say that I'm really grateful for [my mother's] own personal transition.

Between the two [parents], it was a really unique upbringing, I think, especially for where I was from.

I grew up in church. My mom's a minister, and my grandmother was an ordained minister. I was always very mindful of the presence of a greater being I call God.

The freedom that I wanted as a kid would - probably would not have been good for me and not in the way in which I wanted it.

When we kind of get caught up in the minutiae, the details that make us all different, I think there's two ways of seeing that. There's an opportunity to see the texture of that person, the characteristics that make them unique. And then there's an opportunity to go to war about it and to say that that person is different from me and I don't like you, so let's battle.
