The home is the center of your soul; it's a total reflection of your inner life. If you have a dreary home, it means you are dark inside.
You're not going to be dreary on the inside if you're not dreary on the outside.
The Bronx always seemed very dreary to me.
I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.
I was a member of the Nationalist Party for several years. I don't remember how long. Those were very dreary days, because the Nationalist Party... it's hard to describe what it was.
