I defied nothing at all. I ignored the law because I didn't know it existed. It didn't occur to me that anyone would want to curb my inspiration.

It would never occur to me to judge anyone.

Did it ever occur to you that nothing has ever occurred to God?

If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim.

And I think that's righteous, I think that's what parents want to know. They want to know what's going right in the school, and what needs improvement, and that's what this law does.

When you're poor, you don't want anyone to know you're poor.
