I am deeply inspired by the courage and achievements of young people who didn't have the safety nets I had growing up.

We can live nuanced, complicated, exciting lives with no reason for limitation.

Go to countries where you don't speak the language. Eat food that looks like you may not like it. Read all of the holy books.

I believe that it is my job to fight for the rights of others to have the same rights that I take for granted. As a white, American male, I have had it quite good. I recognize that and fight every day for everyone to have the same opportunities that I have had.

Fighting for social justice is not about leaving the mainstream. It is about being right in the middle of it.

Let us not aspire to four-year goals but rather forty-year goals.

Do ballet and play football. Sing and dance. Laugh and cry.
