“I do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky - it symbolizes that i have a heart for God.

“Louis Brandeis beloved uncle, Lewis Dembitz, was an ardent abolitionist. His mother was an abolitionist in Kentucky at a time when Brandeis remembered hearing the shot from the confederate soldiers after the second battle of Bull Run.

And that encapsulates almost all of American history.” ThinkingRunningLastsLawMotherHeardCollegeBattleShotsSoldierHearingRememberedBelovedAmerican HistoryUnclesBullsArdentClerksKentuckyConfederateAbolitionistLouis Brandeis Author:Jeffrey Rosen
“After college, I shot a pilot for a show on Lifetime, which was basically House of Style for a TV lover. I think I got paid $1,500, and I was like, "Mom, I'm moving out! I made it!"
