Matters of the subconscious affect reality in ways we don't quite realize.

I get turned on by the idea of an essence - finding the essence of the thing.

Even though we've written epic poems and made incredible films about love, I still don't think anyone can understand what it is, or why it means everything.

Matters of the subconscious affect reality in ways we don't quite realize.

I think every morning we wake up offers a new beginning, a new way of stepping into the day. I think every conversation could be a new chance.

It may not seem that way, but I am an absolute optimist, an unrepentant optimist.

The truth, and nothing but the truth, is that dawn begins with a wrestling match with my soul and a systematic rejection of all the other useful possibilities a day offers. I make obeisance to the story, its characters, and the muse with burnt offerings.
