“I think the little intimate moments that we share between people, the little interactions between our universes are so little and so brief and once they’re gone, they’re gone.”

“You can think about it all you want but you can’t have it back, so being able to share the moments and capture the feelings that exist there for such a temporary, brief period of time is a really special thing.”

“Because like I was saying, they don’t really mean anything unless we ascribe meaning to it and see it and capture it."
