It doesn't matter what people say about me, I weather the storm.

I've always been fascinated by weather.

I've been fascinated with severe weather since I was four, when I saw a tornado at night in my mom and grandmother's southeast Minnesota hometown while everyone else was asleep - an experience I encoded in 'The Stormchasers.'

I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.

I had my baby outside in a thunderstorm. It was really romantic.

Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day.

I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.

You got to be willing to walk in a storm. That's what I tell people all the time.

Storms are sex. They exist alongside and are indifferent to words and description and dissection.

When I lived in Minneapolis in my twenties, and my mom lived there, too, I used to take her 'storm chasing' - by which I mean I'd see a pulsing blob of radar on The Weather Channel and make her drive us toward the storm.
