Ordinary women of grace are, in a sense, my real role models.

Learn to be quiet enough to hear the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others.

What's wrong with our children? Adults telling children to be honest while lying and cheating. Adults telling children to not be violent while marketing and glorifying violence... I believe that adult hypocrisy is the biggest problem children face in America.

There should not be one new dime in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires as long as millions of children in America are poor, hungry, uneducated and without health coverage.

Homeless shelters, child hunger, and child suffering have become normalized in the richest nation on earth. It's time to reset our moral compass and redefine how we measure success.

Be real. Try to do what you say, say what you mean, and be what you seem.

I'm tough in the sense that I believe as strongly in what I'm doing as anybody else believes in what they are doing.
