The love we most cherish will, of necessity, bring us pain. Because that love is like the setting of a body with broken bones. But I want to stage the setting. I want to direct all scenes.

I value humor, kindness, and the ability to tell a good story far more than money, status, or the kind of car someone drives.

Sadness can find you anywhere, anytime, so you better have fun when you can.

These are all I have. I do not have the wide, bright beacon of some solid old lighthouse, guiding ships safely home, past the jaggedrocks. I only have these little glimmers that flicker and then go out.

Sometimes you just have to reach out and grab what you want, even when they tell you not to. This is something that I've struggled with my whole life long.

But who has time to write memoirs? I’m still living my memoirs.

It's life. You don't figure it out. You just climb up on the beast and ride.
