Love - true love - is a precious thing. It is painful, uncomfortable, makes fools of us all, but it is what breathes meaning and color and purpose into our lives.

History is written by the victors, the strongest, the most determined. Truth is found most often in the silence, in the quiet places.

We are who we are, be­cause of those we choose to love and be­cause of those who love us.

People think that I'm very serious.

I really like people and I keep friendships. I have people from all parts of my life.

I am not a fan of historical fiction that is sloppy in its research or is dishonest about the real history.

There's no black and no white, just shades of grey...But the small betrayals lead to bigger ones, morality is eroded.
