As I got older, my mother taught me to remember that your connection with people is based on what you're allowing them to touch about you, which was the opposite of what you get as a military kid, because dad's in a uniform. He's official; you don't poke that. But with mom, you do: Always question authority.

I think it's impossible to be up close with people and to ask them to let you in if you're fake.

I have a certain perspective and intolerance for people who try to twist and bend whatever the truth might be.
