“When you're alone, it's easier," she said a little wistfully. "You can do what you want. You don't have to go home.”

“Sometimes you sit around
Don't know what to do,
don't know where you're going to
All you have to be is you
What else can you do”

“If you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear.”

“When it's all over, you're remembered for what you did, not what you said you were going to do.”

“The thing is to be happy,' he said. 'No matter what. Just try that. You can. It gets to be easier and easier. It's nothing to do with circumstances. You wouldn't believe how good it is.

“The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.”

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”
