"...I know so many smart, strong, hardworking people who have very difficult lives, who suffer from loneliness or unrequited love, who are confused, who, without meaning to, torment their loved ones and suffer themselves. That is, people who have no external enemy, but whose lives are very difficult. But they continue to live and continue to worry, to desire happiness, to suffer, to fall in love, to be disappointed, and to hope for something again. These are the kind of people I am interested in. I'm probably like that myself."
