All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.

I was not tormented in any way; I was never even bullied. I had a nice teenage life.

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

Segregation has never been a shadowy, impossible-to-pin-down conspiracy. It's been an American way of life.

The goal in life is to be solid, whereas the way that life works is totally fluid, so you can never actually achieve that goal.

Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days. I read recently that all of us can be defined in adult life by the way others perceived us in high school.

I had never understood why the farmlands of the U.S. had been settled in such a sparse and isolated way, whereas the farming communities in Europe seemed closer, more convivial, centered around village life.

At the very least, we want everything to go on hold for a while because there is this feeling that we're heading down a path in a way that we never, ever intended when we were 18 and dreaming of what life would be like.

Everything that happens later in life is appreciated in a different way. You can appreciate the thing for what it is, which you couldn't if you were 25 and had never experienced much else. You would take it all for granted and think that's what life is like.
