I don't have one feeling or another about notes, but it is always a little bit of a red alert when I get one in an audition.”

“Notes on the Leper Colony and Insane Asylums on Robben Island:
In the winter, wild North westerly gales sweep in across the Island, battering the shore and bringing with them a dense sea mist that shrouds everything in its path.

The Fault in Our Stars will hopefully have a long and wonderful life, but it will eventually go out of print, and eventually the last person ever to read it will die, and then the characters will no longer live in any consciousness.Also, that is okay.

What Gus in particular must reconcile himself to is that being temporary does not mean being unimportant or meaningless.”

We are still a novelty for most of the people we encounter, and almost everywhere we go, one of us or all of us are in the minority. [...] There is a consciousness about our family's visibility, what it means, how our choices will be judged, and, on top of that, the extra consciousness of trying not to let that factor into our decisions too much.”
