I think men and women are the same. Even as parents, I think we're the same. We're just conditioned to think that we're different.

If you go out eight times and play tennis eight times this week, yeah, it's the same rules, but it's a different game every time you're out on that court.

Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.
