I am in love with Hope.

It's like going back to being a child again. Someone to bathe you. Someone to lift you. Someone to wipe you. We all know how to be a child. It's inside all of us. For me, It's just remembering how to enjoy it.

I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory.

If God wants it, it will happen.

I had a very high-grade publisher tell me I was incapable of writing a memoir.

You can be a mama's boy, be a daddy's boy, but you can't be both. So you cling to the one you think you might lose.

But hurting ourselves to inflict pain on others is just another cry to be loved.
