Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating, by them.

I would only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto.

Love is a story we tell with another person. It's cocreation through conarration. When you hit bumps in the road and challenges, you write a new chapter in your story together.

The only way you do that is to talk to each other and create a shared narrative.

I am a teacher... The life I lead is the most agreeable I can imagine. [In the] classroom ... there await me a group of intelligent and curious young ...

Child actors become types. The cutesy type, the funny type, the dark type. Any time you're a type, your career's over. It's not been effortless for me; I've had bumps in the road, you know?

Many critics speak about coming-of-age love, about initiation, about young libido, and so forth. I've never seen it only this way. We continue to examine things ever so minutely, we interpret obsessively.

And we are hurt just the same as when we were teenagers.
