Steven Patrick Morrissey

I think we need leadership that helps us remember that part of what we are about is caring about more than the person right next to us, but the folks across the way.

Bob Ney

Part of the beauty of the show in a way is that he's not perfect, but you can always count on him to do the right thing in a pinch. That's why he inspires people and inspires me.
