At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

Shoes are strange things. If you take your shoes off in a situation in which you're vulnerable, you'll feel 10 times more vulnerable.

I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.

You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another.

How can you be a recluse in a house full of children, even if you had the inclination to be, which I don't?
