I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.

I love my country enough to suffer its wrath.

No father could ever be prouder of his son. I hold Charlie's accomplishments dearer than my own. He has been through so much and overcome so much more. Even if he weren't my son he'd still be my best friend.

My first civil disobedience arrest for social justice was in 1986 for protesting the SDI.

There is no greater virtue than honesty.

My recovery is the single greatest accomplishment of my life. Without that, the rest of my life would have fallen apart.

No matter what is going on, everything is grace.
