She wrote in her diary, and I quote it in the book, that if I had one wish for my children, it was for them to do what they think is right, what's adventurous and challenging and unpredictable and gratifying, and not give a damn what anybody says about them. So that's one of the things I learned from her.

And she would remind you about that. Absolutely, and I can't dispute that. I think Billy was probably the most brilliant. And your sister as well, right? I had two sisters.
