Why Not Me?

And as everyone knows, the best kind of laughter is laughter born of a shared memory.

But I’m the kind of person who actually likes feeling a little bit out of place. Aspirational is how I feel comfortable.

It’s just that, the truth is, I have never, ever, ever met a highly confident and successful person who is not what a movie would call a “workaholic.” We can’t have it both ways, and children should know that. Because confidence is like respect; you have to earn it.
