I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.

I've lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.

If you have a block of ballistics gelatin and a high-speed camera, pretty soon somebody gets a gun!

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.
