How would I ever know when that moment was right, when expectation met anticipation and formed...connection?
Rachel CohnCinderella was such a dork. She left behind her glass slipper at the ball and then went right back to her step-monster's house. It seems to me she should have worn the glass slipper always, to make herself easier to find. I always hoped that after the prince found Cinderella and they rode away in their magnificent carriage, after a few miles she turned to him and said, "Could you drop me off down the road please? Now that I've finally escaped my life of horrific abuse, I'd like to see something of the world, you know?... I'll catch back up with you later, Prince, once I've found my own way.

Canโt you give that atitude a rest?โ โMerry Christmas, Dad. And thanks for the presents.โ โWhat presents?โ โIโm sorryโthose were all from Mom, werenโt they?
Rachel CohnI am stronger than words and I am bigger than the box I'm in, and then I see her in the crowd and I fall apart -I am listening and I am listening because what I'm playing isn't something I'm thinking about, it's something I'm feeling all over.
