I could have easily gone down the wrong path and dropped out of school, but I was given a second chance.

The kids can't watch 'The Wire,' but there's great educational stuff for them to watch on TV if it is TV time. There are great apps on the iPad that are interactive and educational.

If I haven't any talent for writing books or newspaper articles, well, then I can always write for myself.

'Lord Of The Rings' fandom was massive, worldwide, entrenched. Generally it had been part of the fans' life all their life, because they had it read to them as children; they'd become Tolkien students.

I've hurt people unnecessarily when it was about my own insecurities. But you have to make those mistakes to become a better person.

We will talk about cooperation to destroy the disease as soon as we can.

You say you're 'depressed', all I see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective, it just means you're human.
