Sometimes I'm Jewish, sometimes I'm British, sometimes I'm from Taiwan. Don't think with flashlights. Think with spotlights, baby! Martin Luther King taught me something: Duck.

I truly ask only one thing from you and this isn't gonna be poetry: Always and only tell me the simple truth. No dirty little secrets. No whispers. No lies. Ever.

"And nobody in all of Oz - No wizard that there is or was - is ever going to bring me down!" - Stephen Schwartz, WICKED The Musical

"How do we keep what happens to us? How do we fit it into life? Without turning it into an anecdote. With no teeth. No punchline. You'll recount over and over, for years to come: "Oh! That reminds me of the time that imposter came into our lives." "OH! TELL THE ONE ABOUT THAT BOY." And we become these human juke-boxes spilling out these anecdotes? But it was an experience. How do we keep the experience?" - John Guare, SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION
