Michael J. Fox

Work, Mean, Through

Bad, Person, Wonderful

Joseph Wood Krutch

Life, Good, Loyalty

I'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.
Kristen Stewart

Age, Time, Strong

Susan Orlean

Different, Big, Vote
