Quotes
"I'm a lot quieter when I have conversations with people now. I'm no less engaged, but I'm perusing their faces and body language more than I did before. I'm no expert, but I do try. Sometimes I'll see a twitch that I want to attribute to a lie ... mostly because it would be cool. But even if I noticed a flash of fear in that millisecond would I call them on it?" — New York Post interviewhttp://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/item_F8J4O9M04U3jxQcGCGDPDL
