Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old tennessee williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. what i’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. for us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.

I've been able to dine with presidents, with leaders of corporations, traveled for 14 years with (financier and philanthropist) michael milken, who has taught me so much about life. hanging around with them, it's nothing i could have believed in grade school. i could be with all of them? milton berle, don rickles, dean martin ... this former third-string pitcher from the norristown high baseball team and the son of an italian immigrant? i really am in awe when i think that has happened to me. what a life.
