• If you don't want to be a victim, don't act like one." It was fairly safe to assume that that was the first time anyone had ever spoken to W. W. Hale the Fifth in that manner.

• Blaire, This was my grandmother’s. My father’s mother. She came to visit me before she passed away. I have fond memories of her visits and when she passed on she left this ring to me. In her will I was told to give it to the woman who completes me. She said it was given to her by my grandfather who passed away when my dad was just a baby but that she’d never loved another the way she’d loved him. He was her heart. You are mine. This is your something old. I love you, Rush

• Mi abuela me inculcó la dureza que conlleva la supervivencia. Era una mujer dura y nunca disfrutó de su vida. Siempre se preocupaba por las cosas y yo le decía que eso no la iba a llevar a ninguna parte, y no era así. Yo ni siquiera era tan inteligente en ese entonces, pero sabía que preocuparse por los demás no era bueno para su salud. Como latinos, nos estresamos y preocupamos tanto por el futuro cuando el futuro es hoy. Mientras protejamos lo que es bueno en nuestras vidas, estaremos bien.

• Mi vida era típica. Jugaba al béisbol en las ligas menores. Nunca me faltó comida. Siempre tenía zapatos. Tenía una habitación. No hubo grandes tragedias. Hubo los típicos altibajos, pero no diría que fue triste en absoluto. Éramos judíos y vivíamos en los suburbios, así que había una ligera inclinación neurótica, pero no puedo señalar nada en lo que un niño haya superado una tragedia para convertirse en cómico. Como decía mi abuela: "No me puedo quejar".

• The police [in South Africa] would check in on you randomly. And they would come into the house, and they would look through that registry and look at all the names of all the people who were registered to be living in the house. And they would, you know, cross-reference that with the actual inhabitants of the dwelling.I was never on that piece of paper. I was always hidden. My grandmother would hide me somewhere if the police did show up. And it was a constant game of hide and seek.

• My mom would spend a week in jail. She would spend a day in jail here - a week again, a week and a half, two weeks. My grandmother tells me stories of how because I would be at the house, I wouldn't notice that my mom was gone because she would be at work sometimes. So it was just like time when my mom would be gone and my grandma would tell me she'll be back. And nobody knew where anybody was.

• For me, I was born in the Bronx, and I moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia at a very young age. I had the luxury of going back to New York, visiting my grandmother who would spoil me endlessly, and I could buy whatever was the hot kicks in the summertime of 1990. Being able to shop and then going back to Virginia Beach, where they weren't as fast in regards to fashion, I had that luxury.

• People say to me, "When did you come out?" But I was never in! When I was about six, I was swanning around the house in clothes that belonged to my mother and my grandmother which I'd found in an attic, saying, "I am a beautiful princess!" What my parents thought of this, I don't know. But they bore it. And the real problem was not my sin, but my unemployability.

• My grandmother told me: "We all dated lots of different boys because no one was having sex or kissing. It was just going out for sodas and getting to know people. It didn't seem like there was a threat." I think now we have more ideas of people having premarital and unprotected sex.

• Hazel has to realize that her mom was wrong when she said, “I won’t be a mother anymore.” The truth is, after Hazel dies (assuming she dies), her mom will still be her mom, just as my grandmother is still my grandmother even though she has died. As long as either person is still alive, that relationship survives. (It changes, but it survives.)

• I definitely appreciated '60s music. My uncle and I used to take long road trips to visit my grandmother when I was going to NYU. We'd listen to Petula Clark and other 60's music and sing at the top of our lungs the whole time.

• El sueño americano no es un sprint, ni siquiera un maratón, sino un relevo. Nuestras familias no siempre cruzan la línea de meta en el lapso de una generación. Pero cada generación transmite a la siguiente los frutos de su trabajo. Mi abuela nunca tuvo casa propia. Limpiaba las casas de los demás para poder alquilar la suya. Pero vio a su hija convertirse en la primera de su familia en graduarse en la universidad. Y mi madre luchó duro por los derechos civiles para que, en lugar de una fregona, yo pudiera sostener este micrófono.
