“I don't get it. It's a bunch of trees with leaves.”
“Leave it to a New Yorker to put a bunch of trees in one place and call it wonderful.”
“Like a tree losing its leaves. I forget even the thing I was thinking.”
“I don't want to be a tree; I want to be its meaning.”
“Mr. Freeman: You are getting better at this, but it's not good enough. This looks like a tree,but it is an average, ordinary, everyday, boring tree. Breathe life into it. Make it bend - trees are flexible, so they don't snap. Scar it, give it a twisted branch - perfect trees don't exist. Nothing is perfect. Flaws are interesting. Be the tree.”
“I don't know why women are so mad about flowers. Personally, they leave me cold. I prefer trees.”
