  1. “Very competitive, and you know, earning all the time your stripes and trying harder, and you know, with a lot of humor and a lot of joy and a lot of tenderness, but still, tough. And then here's Rosemary. And she walked in the house and she didn't have to do anything. Everybody loved her. And you didn't have to do anything for her. And she'd sit with you and talk to you, play games, swim, walk, no urn.”

  2. “You know, Rosemary was in our house by the time I was a child. She would come regularly to visit. I can remember thinking to myself, she comes here, unlike everybody else. Everybody else, we sort of have to prove ourselves. You know, everybody else was a senator or a TV star or a CEO or a Nobel Prize winner.”

  3. “I think to be open about the things inside of you that hurt, that cause you pain, that you are ashamed of, the corrosive effect of holding in your pain, of trying to hide it, I think is the worst suffering you can have.”

  4. “Going into that space of freedom and going, wow. So they taught me that. They taught me humility and simplicity. They taught me trust. I mean, you know, trusting the world with your dreams is scary for most of us. These athletes taught me even if you get disappointed, even if the world doesn't come through for you, do it again.”

  5. “I think for me, it's all about leaving it all in the court. I mean, the athletes taught me, you know, the fun that comes from not being inhibited. But most people think fun and soul are two different things. Sole unleash.”

  6. “Well, I think in some ways I was programmed to search. I didn't choose it. It shows me from the time I can remember, I was always wondering. And I think now more recently as I lived more and more in the world of people with enormous vulnerabilities, I kept thinking to myself, these people understand something about life, about authenticity, about vulnerability. I keep trying to share with the world because it's making such a difference to me and I never can find the words. And so the book just took me over. I had to write it. I had to try to capture this unconditional love, openness, trust that came to me from these folks who had such unlikely stories of brilliance and wisdom.”
