If there's a fire, I want to be there. Maybe because in being so close to death, I think I understand what it means to be truly alive.

I think as humans we do want to control our relationships, and you can't. It's probably better that you can't. That wouldn't be a real relationship, and we'd never learn and grow.

I don't think that we really know our animals. We think we do because we're humans, and we think we can control things like that. We don't know anybody that we love. It could be a girlfriend or a cat. I think we just have to be at peace with that.

To understand somebody else as a human being, I think, is about as close to real forgiveness as one can get.

Sometimes, I think I may be more recognizable because I'm character-looking.

I'm 31 now. I think I'm beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means.
