“I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me.”

“We are all in this together, by ourselves.”

“When you're a parent, you're a superhero.”

“I've got a lot of faith in the younger generation, and I think they're gonna make the world a better place.”

“I'm not trying to be a role model. I'm just trying to be myself.”

“I find that the best way to do things is to just do them.”
