“I believe it's a miracle in life when you find people who care about and desire the same things you do, and creativity does that -- brings those people together in one place.”

“Be careful what you believe - it is who you are.”

“I DID my life - one thing to do after another, always something else to do. Because you don't need a heart to DO, but you do need one to live.”

“Edges of the ocean. The water is what ties us together, yes? You at one edge, me at the other, but the same ocean, the same water.”

“Those are the facts. It's easy to believe in facts, my dear. To believe in the story you need faith. Tell me the story as you experienced it.”

It is the same tide and moon, the same sea, love, fear, losing, and death. Love does not change with time. The love that fills us and empties us, that clips our wings so thatwe must decide whether to learn to fly after that. To love or to fear.”

“It is not about how it ends; it is about the journey. The full story. You have to know the full story to care about or know the ending.”
