The truth of the matter is the real story are the people who rise above all of this incredible cruelty. Otherwise that cruelty wins.

The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: You will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it's a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else.

The directors are always sharp. It's true.
