I'm attached to my children with whatever flaws they have, and if some glorious angel broke through the living room ceiling and offered to exchange them for other, better children, I'd cling to my kids and pray away this specter.

Andrew Solomon

Living a long life, the conventional wisdom at the time said, depended to a great extent on who we were-that is, our genes.

Terry Teachout

So, I mean, if you grow up like that, and you're able to make it to this level and be blessed the way I've been blessed, it's always great to give back.

Tyronn Lue

TV critics, who traditionally hate television and make their living writing about it, often didn't like what I did on the air.
