Quote

Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive.

I love sharing my story. It's endlessly healing.

My responsibility is to try to tell true stories. To me a true story is always hopeful, but never simply, uncomplicatedly happy.

On the whole, my life is and has been wonderful.

The great thing is to have been surrounded by stories all my life.

I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you.

The opportunity to be a storyteller is the greatest thing in the world, and I feel so lucky and really love it.

My life has been a whole series of accidents, some of them happy, some not.

I think understanding your life as a story is a really terrific way of kind of knowing where you are and knowing who you are.

I had a wonderful life and was blessed with so many loving people and great friends.
