If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.

You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.

I think everyone feels alone in their sadness, and there's a certain value to hearing other people's sad stories.

It's really easy to do sad; you just put on some sad music and write dramatically - everybody can do that.

I'm not a sad person, upset the whole time, but I seem to be quite emotional.

I weep at everything. I love things so much - I just never want to dilute that.

I weep at everything.

For every story you hear that's tragic, there's another that's equally tragic or more so. I think you come to look at it as part of life.

So far, at least, I haven't found a way to tell my kind of stories without making them both sad and funny.
