Some of the words and symbols and images from childhood will continually be part and parcel of my personality.

The trouble with words is that you never know whose mouths they have been in.

Children can write poetry and then, unless they're poets, they stop when reach puberty.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.

When I see something that I think isn't right, I think I have some kind of, for right or wrong, an obligation to fix it.
