I love all of it, thinking up the plots, getting to know the kids in the story, their parents, backyards, pizza toppings.

Friendship,

James Boswell

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Eleanor Roosevelt

No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful, or greedy -- unless you let him.

Napoleon Hill

A great man is always willing to be little.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

But I believe in fair trade, and I will tell you, I have many, many friends heading up corporations, and people that do just business in China, they say it's virtually impossible. It's very, very hard to come into China. And yet, we welcome them with open arms.

Donald Trump

There will always be those who feel more comfortable not venturing from the warmth of the hearth, but there are those who prefer to look out the window and wonder what is beyond the horizon.

Jimmy Buffett

If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see.

Henry David Thoreau

Having two daughters changed my perspective on a lot of things, and I definitely have a newfound respect for women. And I think I finally became a good and real man when I had a daughter.

Mark Wahlberg

Cheerleading gave me a love of sports, which I brought to the Senate. I can talk to the good ol' boys about college sports because I follow it like they do.

Kay Bailey Hutchison

Dance, vaudeville, drama, movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater.

James Broughton

I'd love to do a musical. I have a little list of them in my head.

Swoosie Kurtz

The public is a ferocious beast. One must either chain it up or flee from it.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)
