You can't have a university without having free speech even though at times it makes us terribly uncomfortable. If students are not going to hear controversial ideas on college campuses they're not going to hear them in America. I believe it's part of their education.

Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education and is not made a fool by it may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.

Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm friendly intellectual relationship.

I would go to bed every night and have dreams about having a time machine and somehow I'd have the ability to move through time and space freely and save Anne Frank.

I think what every skater dreams of is not only skating the best program they can possibly skate but y'know having the crowd roar at the end and it was just so loud I couldn't even hear my music.

I was so lucky to have parents who supported me 100% with whatever I was doing both financially and emotionally. Having that they made my life so much easier. Instead of becoming a bartender and trying to survive while trying to pursue your dreams I didn't have to worry about that aspect. I could just pursue my dreams.

There has been enough suffering in our country there has been enough of children whose dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who having served their nation are forced into indignity in their old age.

When you stop having dreams and ideals - well you might as well stop altogether.

I work and then whenever I have any other time I'm with my daughter and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.

Having achieved my own dreams I want to give to kids who are less fortunate who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support.
