"Let me tell you a secret: there is no such thing as an uninteresting life."
"Try mine."
"I would love to. One day you must tell me your full and complete story, unabridged and unexpurgated. We will set aside some time for it and meet. It's very important."
"Why is it important?"
"You don't know? It's extremely important because it helps to remind yourself of who you are. Then you can go forward, without fear of losing yourself in this ever-changing world."
