Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.

I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn't picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn't a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.

They didn't feel secure enough.

You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.

Most films these days are men's stories. Women are for add-on romance. That's very hard.

It's an interesting thing to be in your forties and evaluate success and take ownership of some disasters and some pain and try to forgive a little bit - yourself and others.
