I look at the cake in my mother's arms and think: here stands the only person in the whole world who'd go to such trouble for fractious, ungrateful me.

No matter how far I try to travel from people, people always appear. Either they follow me, or they're already there, and I followed them, unwittingly.

In the face of immense tragedy—yet again—unexpected beauty.

How easy to be electrocuted. How fine the line between beauty and peril.

I love that an idea can be so powerful it doesn't matter whether I've seen the artwork for real or not.

Who can judge the judge?

Nobody "becomes" a character. You can't act unless you are who you are.

People who achieve access to the deepest roots of their freedom can completely change.

In an ideal world people would know the words just for the show and then forget them right after.

A great democracy doesn't make it harder to vote than to buy an assault weapon.
