“I felt the wild need for any or all of these people that night. Lying there alone, I began to feel - perhaps even to know - that I did not exist apart from their love and need of me.

Falling asleep I thought, 'Maybe this, for me, is the hand of God.”

I think putting them out there, that changes the world a little bit. And the world can’t afford to lose that.”
