Quote
Maybe you don't even need a man to come in stomping around and being all there. Maybe I could love a woman? Maybe I'll end up with a woman. We are humans. Men and women. You don't know who you're going to fall in love with; we fall in love with a person. Not a sex. And looking around, it seems women are just pretty cool anyway.

Eating is a story of your life, so when people say food is a comfort, they are right in a way; it's always there with you. It's always a friend. Your favourite foods travel with you your whole life, taste everything you do. Even if you're crying over a plate, the plate is still there. Full of hope.

You never really grow up. It's a trick; everybody is wandering around just as lost as a person ahead and the person behind. We are all winging it. You are always waiting for somebody to tell you if you're doing it right but you never know.
