“There is no such thing as a little lie. A lie is a lie.”

“It's the choosing that's important, isn't it?”

“People don't want to hear the truth, they never do. They wanna live in some kind of fantasy.”

“The problem with memories is they are tricky things. You can't always trust them.”

“Family isn't something that's supposed to be static, or set. People marry in, divorce out. They're born, they die. It's always evolving, turning into something else.”

“Sometimes you have to do something wrong to get a chance to do something right.”

“We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.”

“Right and wrong are not handed down from the sky. We define them.”

“You can't have a future if you don't have a past.”
