I dream for a living.

For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.

I missed my dad a lot growing up, even though we were together as a family. My dad was really a workaholic. And he was always working.

In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.

Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.

When I was very young, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers in Germany, a pianist who played a symphony that wasn't permitted, and the Germans came up on stage and broke every finger on her hands. I grew up with stories of Nazis breaking the fingers of Jews.
