Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn’t suck.
‘The Dark Knight,’ for me, has the same problem that every other ‘Batman’ movie has. It’s not about Batman.

If you can’t run, you crawl. If you can’t crawl– you find someone to carry you.
Bottom line is, even if you see ’em coming, you’re not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets?

There’s a fine line between support and stalking and let’s all stay on the right side of that.
Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
War is not just the business of death, it is the antitheses of life.
