Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.

Perfect people are the scariest people to me.

In the course of American history, great steps are taken by ordinary people, and ordinary people are not perfect.

People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image. But what people have to understand is writing that book was very healing for me.

Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.

I always have a funny story at communion time that underscores that no one is perfect, and that communion is not for perfect people but for hungry people.
