[Before her work is done, Stone will have raised more than $150,000.] I just love doing it, ... to be small enough and humble enough that I remember why I'm there. And to be big enough that I can play catch with that many people.

Lucy was lovely.

I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.
