“I’m very interested in the emotional honesty of things, which at times looks kind of ugly and at times looks scary and not polished, and so there were many times when I would audition for something and I would come from, for me, a very honest place, but it’s completely not what they’re looking for for that type of material. But I was always very steadfast in what I was interested in, and I felt like, I’m gonna tell the truth as best as I know it. And you eventually start to understand that the projects find you that meet up with that. It takes as long as it takes, and for me it took like 20 years, but I’m really glad. You know, the jobs always ultimately end up going to the person who’s supposed to tell that story, and those weren’t my stories to tell.”

“So money doesn’t matter once you get down to it. It doesn’t matter how thin or thick anyone’s wallet is. We all hurt. We all love. We’re the same.”

“Rowen . . .” he called, not quite an order but several degrees much too authoritative for my “I am woman, hear me roar and hyphenate my last name” liking.”

“I’m still in love with you,” he repeated walking closer to me. “I’ve tried to stop it. I tried to ignore it.
I tried to wish it away, but it won’t leave. Whenever you’re near me, I want you closer. Whenever you
laugh, I want the sound to never fade. Whenever you’re sad, I want to kiss your tears away. I know all of
the reasons that I shouldn’t want to be with you. I know that I can never be forgiven for what happened all
those years ago, but I also know that I still love you. You’re still the fire that keeps me warm when life
becomes cold. You’re still the voice that keeps the darkness at bay. You’re still the reason my heart beats.
You’re still the air in my lungs. You’re still my greatest high. And I am still truly, madly, painfully in love
with you. And I don’t think I’ll ever know how to stop.”
