I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me let alone want to marry me.

I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman let alone me.

And you know when I was growing up I knew I wanted to have kids but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41 42 I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on but even then it would be with a partner.

There's great sadness and life doesn't work out like you would want on a lot of levels but there's no need to feel all alone. This happens to everybody so there's no self-pity. This is the ride that humans are on and all of it is essential for our natural part of it.

I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan I would faint if I met him let alone got to work with him.
