I would be a little bit surprised if the Supreme Court approves of that, but I have been wrong before.

Nobody around here has any sympathy for child molesters. The devastation they cause is like a cannon ball in a pond.

When you're 11 or 12 years old, you can get so swept up in a book that you start to believe that the fantasy is reality. I think when you have a giant crush when you're in fifth grade, it becomes your whole world. It's like being underwater; everything is different.
