“Yosemite really brings out my creativity. It's such a powerful place, there's some sort of amazing energy going on that fuels me.”

“I've just always been terrified of having to speak in front of people. When I used to go in school and then I had to do a report in front of the class and speak, I would freeze up, sometimes I would even like tear up almost and start crying and stuff... couldn't deal.”

“I spend more time with Whisper than I do with anybody else. I chose her when she was three or four days old, I've had her since she was nine weeks. She's a mini Australian cattle dog; cattle dogs need to have a job, and her job is just walking after me.”

“Teachers are not glorified babysitters with summers off. Their profession fuels all others, and on a normal day that is amazing enough in and of itself.”

“I might not always be given the respect that I should have, but it's what fuels me.”

“You work hard for your income, and that hard work is what fuels the economy.”
