"I wish this story were different. I wish it were more civilized. I wish it showed me in a better light, if not happier, than at least more active, less hesitant, less distracted by trivia. I wish it had more shape. I wish t were about love, or about sudden realizations important to oneâ€™s life, or even about sunsets, birds, rainstorms, or snow. Iâ€™m sorry there is so much pain in this story. Iâ€™m sorry itâ€™s in fragments, like a body caught in crossfire or pulled apart by force. But there is nothing I can do to change it."

“If you're not an actor, or if you're any other kind of artist, there's this sense that, "I must express this thing." Why make a painting if you don't feel like you have to for something inside of yourself? Why make a song if you don't feel like you have to because there's something that you need to get out?
