My son was 12 years old, just a baby, a baby, my baby, the youngest out of four…I want to thank the nation for supporting us. That’s the only way I’m standing today - that I’m standing right now.

[Sandy Hook] was the one that was supposed to make a difference. It wasn't a high school. The victims were 20 first graders, 6-year-olds, along with six staff members. But the numbers indicate nothing much has changed. Sandy Hook turned out to be not a call to action, but a gruesome standard from which all inaction can be judged.

[Robin Williams] made all these people feel great. And at the same time, knowing that he had this sense of … what I make up in my mind - this low sense of self-worth, of belonging, of loneliness, of pain that all the money in the world can't cure. All the accolades and awards, and all the love from people all over the world … all that love could still not stop that man from saying, 'I am in so much pain.'

The thing about Scandal and House of Cards that makes [them] fun to watch is I can't imagine that either a president [Kevin] Spacey or the president's chief of staff on Scandal could really get away with murder. I wish I'd known about that [ability] when I was in office. You know, think of all of the opportunities I missed. So little time, so many people that have it coming.

Let`s face it, the city is really in a panic at this point in anticipation of this [grand jury] decision…On behalf of [Michael Brown’s] family, I reiterate for the umpteenth time - and they wanted me to make it crystal clear - they do not advocate any violence, any looting, any rioting. They are totally against that.
