Reading is a joy for my kids, and to swing in a hammock on a lazy summer day reading a good book just goes with summer.

Everybody says 'Good Morning' in Harlem because it's true! And that's lovely.

A good book is a great ingredient to an awesome time.

Having a dad in the service was helpful. I was forever meeting new kids, going to new schools, moving to new neighborhoods. I was encouraged when I attended the American School in Germany.

Reading is a conversation. All books talk. But a good book listens as well.

Whether you win or not, the night the Oscars are over, the curtain goes down and you go back to the grind. Period.
