I think the one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.

I'm always fascinated by the way memory diffuses fact.

"Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it."

It's in the preparation -- in those dreary pedestrian virtues they taught you in seventh grade and you didn't believe. It's making the extra call and caring a lot.

People tend to vote the present tense -- not the subjective.
