“It's about risking everything. Putting your heart on the line, even when you don't know what's going to happen. It's risking having the person you love rip it out and stomp all over it in public.”

“I'm a firm believer that, from the time you're born until the second your last breath has been drawn from your body, our lives are all about taking risks. It's how you respond to those risks, when everything is on the line, which truly defines a person's life.”

“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”

“Stepping out there is easy if you don't have anything to risk." "Life's a risk. It's what you make of it that counts.”

“That's what it's all about–knowing what you have to lose, but risking the loss anyway.”

“I want that perfect ending. But I've learned the hard way, that some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. My life has not been about knowing or figuring everything out. It's been about having to deal with change, about taking a moment and making the best of it, even if I knew I'd have to take a big risk. Life is really about trying to move forward without knowing exactly what is going to happen next.”
