All the body wants to do biologically is decompose. Once you die, it's, 'Let me out here! I'm ready to shoot my atoms back into the universe!'

Because we've never encountered a decomposing body, we can only assume they are out to get us. It is no wonder there is a cultural fascination with zombies.

I've worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn't out to get me.

I love L.A., but you can get into a lot of trouble out here.

I'm out of here, I'm better than all of you.

Death in its natural state can be very beautiful. When you think about a body that's died of natural causes - family taking care of it - all of that is very beautiful.
