I'm the keeper of the flame for Whitney Houston. She was the greatest... and I don't want the world to forget that.
I've made plenty of mistakes as a keeper, that's for sure. I'll make plenty more before I'm through.
I had a great life even before 'The Memory Keeper's Daughter' took off. I really enjoy teaching.
Since my brother died in 1982, my parents and I had formed a shaky tripod of a family; now that I'd lost my father too, it was too easy for me to glimpse a future point where I alone was the keeper of not just my own childhood memories, but of my family lore.
Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920's and 1930's when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother's keeper.
We are commanded to seek out those who are lost. We are to be our brother's keeper.
My wife and I, we started a foundation about companion animal rescue, but there's a group called Performing Animal Welfare Society just outside of Sacramento... and they offered me a job as an elephant keeper.
I think many of my books, including 'Handle with Care,' including 'My Sister's Keeper,' circle back to how far are we willing to go for the people we love? I think love changes the way we think. It's the thing that takes you out of what your normal set of beliefs would be.
If you accept that your only job is to be the keeper of your life force, you will make powerful choices.
In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear. Through initiatives like My Brother's Keeper, I'm personally committed to changing both perception and reality.
