Those people are my home, and every time I come home, it reminds me that there's something to be said for being in the spotlight, but it can never be a whole part of me.”

“I have a pair of boots that I bought secondhand that gradually fell apart. I had them cobbled about 20 times, and I eventually had them remade, so great was my love for them.”
