“Live each day as if it’s your last’, that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn’t practical. Better by far to simply try and be good and courageous and bold and to make a difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Go out there with your passion and your electric typewriter and work hard at…something. Change lives through art maybe. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance.”

“There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.”

“Isn’t it odd how some people can smile all day long, but cry their self to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How knowing letting go of something is best, but it hurts the worst. How people that said they would always be there, never have time to spare. How a best friend can become an enemy and an enemy becomes a best friend. How forever turns into a few short minutes and a few short minutes can seem like forever. How life seems so long, but yet is so short.”
