“Music is never about music. If it was, we'd be writing songs about guitars. But we don't. We write songs about women.

“But at some point, you have to recognize that you have no control over anybody and you have to step back and be ready to catch them when they fall and that's all you can do.

Maybe it's more like throwing someone you love out to sea and then praying they float on their own, knowing they might well drown and you'll have to watch.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
