“Look up at the stars and you're gone.”

“All of these stars, the most powerful actors in film, they were all gone in an instant.”

“Everybody looks a little crazy if you're looking close enough and if you can't look that close, then you don't really love them.”

“The career of a movie star consists of helping everyone else forget their troubles. Using charm and beauty and good cheer to make life look easy.”

“At almost every meeting since then, Big Bob has made me cry. I never went back to the doctor. I never chewed the valerian root.This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom. If I didn't say anything, people in a group assumed the worst. They cried harder, I cried harder. Look up into the stars and you're gone.Walking home after a support group, I felt more alive than I'd ever felt. I wasn't host to cancer or blood parasites; I was the little warm center that the life of the world crowded around.”

“Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.”

“you can't escape the world, and you're not responsible for how you look, if you look beauticious or butt ugly. you're not responsible for how you feel or what you say or how you act or anything you do. it's all out of your hands.”
