You asked me to go out with you. I know you probably changed your mind. But you should know, the answer was yes. It's always been yes when it comes to you.

Being brave and self-confident doesn't necessarily start inside...It starts with the rest of the world, and it leads back to you.

That was the thing about being on the inside: the world was just going on, even when it seemed like time for you had stopped for good.

This is what daughters did. They left, and came home later with lives of their own.

It's so easy to get caught up in what people expect of you. Sometimes, you can just lose yourself.

Behind the camera, I was invisible. When I lifted it up to my eye it was like I crawled into the lens, losing myself there. and everything else fell away.

That was the thing about being alone, in theory or in principle. Whatever happened - good, bad, or anywhere in between - it was always, if nothing else, all your own.
