I got well by talking. Death could not get a word in edgewise, grew discouraged, and traveled on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn't out to get me.
One of the things I said was that I had been in great hopes that I would become a better person as a result of confronting my own mortality, but it actually never happened. I didn't become a better person.
I'm not sure I've learned anything new about life; but I've had to think harder about death and what comes after for other people.
I've spent a lot of words on my own mortality.
I've never done well when I've been appreciated. I've done best when I'm targeted for death.
A lot of the qualities in 'Killing and Dying' is sort of a response to work I'd done previously. I wanted to push myself in some different directions.
My father led by example. He wasn't much of a talker - he walked life.
I think I want to talk about life from the point of view of death.
Facing my own death brought an instant sense of clarity and purpose.
Talk when you talk, walk when you walk, and die when you die.
