Best moments

• "Each and every one of us is a hot mess, whether we want to admit it or not."
• "You get to a point where nothing else will do and it's just that that's what you have to do. It's soul destroying and you have to save your soul basically, don't you?"
• "There's always a way around everything, the first time it happens, it's a bit like, I don't like this at all because, it's not going to plan, but everybody deals with it. It all works out in the end."
• "I'm standing out there in the rain dancing, like telling her, come on, come up, let's go out. Let's go outside. If anyone saw me right now, they would think that I was freaking crazy. Like, I don't care."
• "I had a bald eagle fly so low over me, I could actually hear his wings flapping."
• "I sent a friend of mine in Edmonton a text saying I just landed. And she's like, how do you feel? I immediately felt this constriction again."
