A Quote by Matthew Quick
I write about people who are usually damaged or neglected by society finding each other and forming relationships that are quite extraordinary and in some cases life-saving. I've had a few of those relationships, which I value highly.

In TV, you can really get into not only great characters, but also the relationships.

It's just more dense and there's more time to tell stories.
Part of growing up is realizing you learn to love so many people. It's about forming those relationships and finding what will last forever.
Relationships end, but they don't end your life. But people do often spending more time finding out about failed relationships than finding successful ones.

It's easier to write from my own life, and it's also more fun. I always write about relationships, for instance, whether they're romantic relationships, friendships, encounters... there's always a lesson to be learned from them.
You need better relationships between the communities and the police, because in some cases, it's not good.But you look at Dallas, where the relationships were really studied, the relationships were really a beautiful thing, and then five police officers were killed one night very violently.
