• "I came to the conference for your workshop. There are not many people doing this research."
• "You had nothing to worry about!"

• "It was funny after my coming out looking back at all the books I read as I child and thinking 'Oh, that makes sense!'"
• "I heard it went brilliantly!"
• "Judy and I did some PR work for you."
