I have been so damn lucky to be able to do what I love my entire life. I never take that for granted.

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

I will go to my grave wishing that I did more. Wishing that I didn't sleep as much. Wishing that I didn't waste so much time. Wishing that I fought harder.

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

I am certainly vulnerable when I sit down with parents who have lost their children to gun violence. The emotion that they experience is so foreign to me that I find it very hard to say the right things.

I know our kids will be OK, as long as they listen more to their mother than to me!
