My mom was the picture of the blue-collar mom: Two and three and four jobs to make sure that me and my sister never needed that was her thing.

My mother stopped working when she had my brother. She was a full time mom until I started getting heavily into ice skating lessons and it got to the point where they really needed my mom to earn an income.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

I remember my mom didn't have any help so if she needed to be somewhere after school we'd just go down to the neighbors' and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.

What a curious phenomenon it is that you can get men to die for the liberty of the world who will not make the little sacrifice that is needed to free themselves from their own individual bondage.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.

I lost my second marriage because of drinking and I loved the woman very much. But I thought I needed booze to write. I'm glad I was disabused.

The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evolved over time given me the greatest respect and love for the game.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
