I'm with my kids 24 hours a day when I'm not here. You do what you need to do for business, but you make sure your kids are No. 1.

As with anything, you have to restructure your priorities constantly. There might be days when ... I'll say, 'OK, I've gotta go home and spend time with my kids.' They're my life.

My nature is to be linear, and when I'm not, I feel really proud of myself.

At night, it's perfectly quiet. And it's just so easy to hop off the freeway and drive back here.

When teachers continue to leave because they're not treated the same way, then the quality is affected. And in the long run, the kids are affected.

When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren't grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude
