- We try, we fail, we posture, we aspire, we pontificate - and then we age, shrink, die, and vanish.
- My habit would have been to veer towards the dark - to prove I was something edgy, or maybe to prove that I was cognisant of the dark side. Now, with age and confidence, I can say, yeah, that's true, but I am cognisant of the fact that people can do things well. And can be more loving than you expect.
