An artist needs to live to create, and to live means to suffer.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

There is danger that we lose sight of what our friend is absolutely, while considering what she is to us alone.
