“I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on ...” — Patrick Swayze Quote

“I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on my shoulder including my dad.”

“I don't know what's on the other side.”

“Sometimes a movie encapsulates a period or a moment in all of our lives in such a way that it never dies.”

“My dad took a lot of pride in what he did for a living.”

“It's man's work. My dad was gone at 4:30 in the morning and home at 8 at night, and he worked underground, and the last mine he worked in was 26 inches high in a lot of places. He liked the engineering of it - he liked the moving the earth and being able to extract something and put it back for reclamation. He enjoyed the whole process.”

“Growing up with my mum, often I'd be the only person at home. She would spend a lot of time talking to me. She treated me almost like an adult; she used to get mildly rebuked by my dad and my grandad for that. But she gave me a degree of responsibility beyond my years; my own sense of agency and even my self-confidence, I get from her.”
