"You try as a parent. You love beyond reason. You fight beyond endurance. You hope beyond despair. You never think, until the very last moment, that it still might not be enough."
"What I learned is that it's arrogant to be certain of anything. The world is a complex place and only idiots or assholes think they know it all."
"If you choose to do something, do it with your utmost. And remember, expect nothing and life will be velvet."
"The only time you're calm, you're centered, you're at peace, is when someone's trying to kill you. And that's just plain twisted."
"I think one of the appeals of suspense is to safely explore our innermost fears."
