The whole notion of one person being enough for everything gets instantly challenged when you start to talk with somebody about wanting more or of wanting something else.

You also don't want to be rejected or have them leave you, whatever the reason.
Conversations about films are always funny. I would say a majority of people want to talk about what were the more obvious successes; the big box office films.

These unwritten amenities have been in part responsible for giving our people the feeling of independence and self-confidence, the feeling of creativity. These amenities have dignified the right of dissent and have honored the right to be nonconformists and the right to defy submissiveness. They have encouraged lives of high spirits rather than hushed, suffocating silence.

I belong to a bowling team with black and Latino coworkers. And when we get together and we talk about politics - I'm almost quoting him - he said, we don't talk about Black Lives Matters. We talk about what matters to our families. We talk about jobs, and we talk about the fate of the country. That is America, and you can reach those people.
