I know for sure that's what we're here to do: Keep the joy thing going for all seasons.

The struggle of my life created empathy... I could relate to pain... being abandoned... having people not love me.

Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.

I was in a conversation and someone said: "You know, we were talking about the whole issue of transgender and how it has become so accepted now, and somebody said, 'You know the Oprah show, I think has had a big impact.'" I said, I don't think so. We did several transgender [shows], but we didn't do as much for transgender as I did for, say, abused kids or battered women. And they said, "But no, you started the conversation. You started the conversation and the conversation has led us to here."

You are always walking in the direction of either love or fear. Choose wisely.

The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.

All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.
