but that is not one of them.

Cotton: Apparently.
Child: Cotton, you don't have a big red nose?
!Cotton: Just when I have a cold.
Child: Cotton, why did you make that balloon pop?
Cotton: At eight bucks a bag, Miss Cotton does not intentionally pop balloons.
Child: Cotton, can you come to my party?
Cotton:
It would be my pleasure! Just have your people call my people!
Child: What would you identify, in your own personal experience, as the singlemost thing to impact and influence your paradigm and work?
Cotton: People are important. Things are just things. I devote my life and time to people. People don't collect dust. Things don't love you back.
