“Daughters arenâ€™t to be independent. Theyâ€™re not to act outside the scope â€¨of their father. As long as theyâ€™re under the authority of their fathers, fathers have the ability to nullify or not the oaths and the vows. Daughters canâ€™t just go out â€¨independently and say, â€˜Iâ€™m going to marry whoever I want.â€™ No. The father has â€¨the ability to say, â€˜No, Iâ€™m sorry, that has to be approved by me.â€™”

And I've played a couple of functional roles. And so I'm not going to do anything other, look he's a functional guy. He says hey mister, you forgot your hat.”
“People are going to bash you. You get rejected. It's hard. I don't really feel like that's my place as the teacher. I think the most important thing is to figure out what they're trying to do and turn them onto writers who are doing similar stuff. I think that's something I can do more than anything else: get them to be big readers.”
“Life isn't all beer and skittles.”
