I'm not very interested in telling the facts. I have a lot of investment in telling the truth.

When I was a little kid, I used to walk miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles of railroad tracks.

I write really well on the road.

I wanted her to see that the only life worth living is a life full of love; that loss is always part of the equation; that love and loss conjoined are the best opportunity we get to live fully, to be our strongest, our most compassionate, our most graceful selves.
