I think I like big issues, but I don't believe in God or religion.

I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.

Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
