"Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats."

"I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse."

"You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw."
