I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.

I missed my dad a lot growing up, even though we were together as a family. My dad was really a workaholic. And he was always working.

Before statehood was achieved, Syria and Egypt had their tanks and military equipment lined up to invade Tel Aviv and destroy it; but the Israelis scrambled together an air force, some of it from old Second World War Messerschmidts, and the invasion was halted.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Jihadism have nothing to do with each other.

There are amazing schools and amazing educators that are doing a wonderful job. And then there are a lot of educators that are not prepared to deal with inclusive education. They haven't been trained. It's really quite lovely and easy when you understand how to do it.

I realized very young that I loved reading and wanted to do something related to books/reading for a living. I didn't think of publishing, really, until I was out of college.

Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.

What don't I want to learn? I have how-to books, history, nature. Ain't nobody here saying, 'You'd better learn this.' But I still think I've got a head on my shoulders, and it pleases me.
