A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
Memories of the last nine years have turned Ground Zero from a site of horror, to a reminder of grief, to an occasion for ludicrous artistic posturing - and now to something very close to parody.
过去9年的记忆让世贸中心遗址从一个恐怖的地方变成了一个让人悲伤的地方,变成了一个滑稽的艺术作秀的地方,现在又变成了一个非常接近戏仿的地方。
My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material.

O fickle Fortune, why this cruel sporting? Why thus torment us poor sons of day? Nae mair your smiles can cheer me, nae mair your frowns can fear me, For the flowers of the forest are a’ wade away.

I used to get quite upset that I'd make friends with a guy or a girl and then within the space of three years we'd move and go and live somewhere else, and you'd have to say goodbye to that person.

They are the only people in the world who I can truly trust and rely on. Touring gets really lonely. I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?

Fear no more the heat o the sun, Nor the furious winter’s rages. Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone and ta en thy wages. Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
