And at the same time I am obliged to speak. I shall never be silent. Never.

The ways in which people are damaged are the ways in which they're strong. It's what makes people interesting - what they've overcome and how, and what they haven't and how that's become a good thing. Almost everyone's life is both a gorgeous story and a tragedy. I think being alive is really, really hard, and I'm constantly stunned and amazed by people who make it interesting and beautiful.

Sarah Polley

Keep in mind that when sin is viewed superficially, it is dealt with superficially.

More and more, I realise I have a distinct voice, which I didn't realise! You know, it's just my voice. I had no idea. A lot of times, people will say now, 'I recognised you from your voice,' which is interesting to me.
