“REAL FRIENDSHIP IS HARD TO FIND SO WHEN YOU HAVE THAT FRIENDSHIP TRY AND KEEP IT”

“LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT SO IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO GOOD OR BAD IT IS UP TO YOU AND ONLY YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES”

“THOSE WHO THINK PEOPLE ARE STUPID ARE THE ONES THAT ARE STUPID.”

“If you value your friendship with someone, you will always try to maintain that friendship at any cost. No matter what it is that has set you apart. Friends are hard to keep, and true friends are hard to find.”

“One cannot conceive of grander burial than that which mighty mountains bend, crack and shatter to make. Or a nobler tomb than the great upper basin of Denali. ”

“Our room has two beds. If this had been a movie, [the hotel] would have been full so we would have had to share a bed. Why doesn't stuff like that happen in real life?”

“My theory was that if I behaved like a confident, cheerful person, eventually I would buy it myself, and become that. I always had traces of strength somewhere inside me, it wasn't fake, it was just a way of summoning my courage to the fore and not letting any creeping self-doubt hinder my adventures. This method worked then, and it works now. I tell myself that I am the sort of person who can open a one-woman play in the West End, so I do. I am the sort of person who has several companies, so I do. I am the sort of person WHO WRITES A BOOK! So I do. It's the process of having faith in the self you don't quite know you are yet, if you see what I mean. Believing that you will find the strength, the means somehow, and trusting in that, although your legs are like jelly. You can still walk on them and you will find the bones as you walk. Yes, that's it. The further I walk, the stronger I become. So unlike the real lived life, where the further you walk, the more your hips hurt.”
