...things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren't, we wouldn't be here to notice.

In order for me to parent well I have to empathize and stay open with my son.

My agent, Didier Fernandez - who's been my agent since I was 18 - has definitely been a mentor and a protector and a trusted friend.

But, as Einstein once said, “For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”5
