“Suicide, I decided, hurt. A lot. Clearly, this had been a bad idea. I wouldn’t be trying that again.”

“Yesterday I attempted suicide and I almost DIED. I won't be trying that again.”

“I could never hurt you as bad as you try to hurt yourself,”

“I don't want to fail, of course. But even though I didn't know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn't really care, because this is what I want to do. If I try my best and fail, well, I've tried my best.”

“I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn’t understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go. Suicide? Jesus Christ, just more work. I felt like sleeping for five years but they wouldn’t let me.”

“Grace: The idea was immediately unbearable, only because I wanted it to be true so badly it hurt”
