Excerpts:
“I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened.”
“Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.”
“I want to be able to be in a room with somebody I don’t agree with and still love them.”
