“Hollywood is built on leveraging queerness. Tucking it away when needed, pulling it out when beneficial, while patting themselves on the back. Hollywood doesn’t lead the way, it responds, it follows, slowly and far behind. The depth of that closet, the trove of secrets buried, indifferent to the consequences. I was punished for being queer while I watched others be protected and celebrated, who gleefully abused people in the wide open.”
― Elliot Page, Pageboy

“This life is a long cheat, full of promises that can never be kept, errors that can never be righted, omissions that can never be filled.”
― Susan Cooper, Silver on the Tree

“Look for what you notice but no one else sees.”
― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being
