You keep on going until you get it as close to being right as the time and patience of others will allow.

Romantic love is one of the most exciting and fulfilling kinds of love and I think there is potential for it at any stage of your life.

What I found was an emotional consistency with him. The words, the scenes, the situations - I wasn't mimicking what I thought Branch Rickey's emotional reality would have been.
