Whenever she does say something, you know that she means it because she's not yelling every single play.

She doesn't just talk to talk.

I can honestly say that this is the best summary of the housing bubble I have come across, and I read a lot.

I have no memories of sitting on my parents' lap, snuggling. I have no memories of my mother ever reading to me. I don't remember ever, ever being hugged.

I can honestly say that the fans inspire. There's an unexplainable rush that comes when I'm in the middle of a set and the energy from the fans hit me.

I can honestly say that's not the case.

I can honestly say that I regret nothing... like I said I have the best of both worlds.

I can honestly say that in my job day to day, I'm not really aware that there's any difference between male and female crew members. It may be cool to the rest of the world that a woman is the commander of this flight. I think that's great.
