To look at possibility is to be free.

Without imagination, you live in a small room with the windows closed. Imagination opens the windows and shows us landscapes, horizons that we would not otherwise perceive…I want education to empower people to see possibility.

After a good night sleep, I wake up the next day, and I say, 'Come on, Tea Party, let’s get it on.'

My favorite birthday game is Pin the Cleanup on the guests.

The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who is muscular and shirtless.
