“Sometimes what you can't see is more real than what you can... Maybe it's because when you don't think anyone can see something, you don't try to hide it. I mean, it's there, but it's invisible... I don't know. It's hard to explain. Maybe it's just that you push all the other stuff to the front, the stuff that you know people want to see. The stuff that people understand. Then the other stuff, the really scary or strange or complicated stuff... you just leave that in the back. I mean, it's there. There if someone wanted to see it, but it's hidden.”

But I think if I knew someone was going to fall in love with me when I'm fifty-three or something, I think I could wait. Maybe. If I knew it would at least happen.”
