I'm more interested in the idea of role-playing in general than the idea of role-playing in art. I like the childlike quality of making pretend or the optimistic idea of pretending something's happening when it's not.

You've read half the books in this house? This whole house? Well, approximately half. Sticky said. To be more accurate, I suppose I've read more like - his eyes went up as he calculated - three sevenths? Yes, three sevenths. Only three sevenths? said Kate, pretending to look disappointed. And here I was prepared to be impressed

The world doesn’t need more people playing small. It’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. It’s time to stop needing and start leading. It’s time to start sharing your gifts instead of hoarding them or pretending they don’t exist. It’s time you started playing the game of life in a “big” way.
