Deep down am I superstitious? No. Do I believe in trying to be as kind as possible and as compassionate as possible because ultimately you're alone with yourself and your own conscience, and you want that to be as clear as possible?

I love storytelling. I love stories, and I love the way in which we connect through stories.
