“What you need to do, is to put your will over completely into the hands of your Lord, surrendering to Him the entire control of it. Say, "Yes, Lord, YES!" to everything, and trust Him to work in you to will, as to bring your whole wishes and affections into conformity with His own sweet, and lovable, and most lovely will. It is wonderful what miracles God works in wills that are utterly surrendered to Him. He turns hard things into easy, and bitter things into sweet. It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one.”

Books that make us believe, for however short a time, that we shall all live happily ever after.”

“If you're going to be with someone, you're with them, you're committed to them. I'm not sort of flitting around.”
“I want to do movies but not talk about them.”
“My sister is a mess. I love her to death, but she is a mess.”

“I've never returned to the locations. I do remember certain days more clearly than others and certain locations with a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps one day, I'll bring my daughter to see them, if she's interested.”
