I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.
I learned a lot about America and a lot about Pat Schroeder, and that's why I will not be a candidate for President.

Complete strangers can stand silent next to each other in an elevator and not even look each other in the eye. But at a concert, those same strangers could find themselves dancing and singing together like best friends. That's the power of music.
Don’t be afraid to fail. The greatest failure of all is not to act when action is needed.
