There's no doubt about it: fun people are fun. But I finally learned that there is something more important, in the people you know, than whether they are fun. Thinking about those friends who had given me so much pleasure but who had also caused me so much pain, thinking about that bright, cruel world to which they'd introduced me, I saw that there's a better way to value people.

Gregory MaguireWith sports and games, you have fun despite working very hard, even despite failing repeatedly.

Then you open it, and it's just about my depression. All of it belongs together.

It's specifics and it's based on knowledge.

I'll try anything, really, as long as it's a challenge and you can have some fun doing it. I think, honestly, having fun and keeping it fairly light are the key elements.
