I'm surprised by how much I remember [on childhood on film]. I think it's just because I had these interesting moments.

I've bespelled this locket, for you; my own, my mate. The day has come when death forced us to part. You must know that I for you, forever, I shall wait.

No matter how long apart we shall be, I hold you to that oath eternally... eternally...

All who remember their childhood remember the strange vague sense, when some new experience came, that everything else was going to be changed, and that there would be no lapse into the old monotony.

Remember to be kind. Remember to be loving. Remember to feel all your feelings and to take care of yourself. But most of all, remember to be happy.
