Elizabeth Edwards

I think self-knowledge is the rarest trait in a human being.

I was an English major in college, and then I went to graduate school in English at the University of North Carolina for three years.

I could be wrong, but I think heterosexual marriage is threatened more by heterosexuals. I don't know why gay marriage challenges my marriage in any way.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.
