• To the young mind every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running under ground whereby contrary and remote things cohere and flower out from one stem.

• I was interesting in discovering more about [Elizabeth Taylor], and I always tried to focus more on the woman than the legend or the icon and everybody's own individual version of what that is.

She was extreme, but she had the ability to love again and again and again and still believe in it every time.

• It was really hard coming to terms with the Nazi history. Then in my twenties I was traveling to Germany.

Then so many of my friends had family who had either perished in the holocaust or survived in the holocaust. It was very palpable.
