I want to bridge that gap and I want to re-engage with the people.”

“The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people. And maybe the reason vampires don’t die is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors.”

“People fight not because they disagree, but because they don’t know they agree.”
