“I like the idea of people having romantic tendencies towards a place they don't know that well. I think it's great. Why not?

“People are attracted to your light because they want it for themselves. It's like fireflies. When we were kids in New York, we would visit my dad and catch fireflies because we were so attracted to their light. Put them in jars next to our bed, and then they'd die. Then we'd go out the next night and get another firefly. That's how people are.” PeopleWantLightKidsNightDiesNextNew YorkDadBedMy DadJarsFirefly Author:Karrine Steffans

“The first theatre I ever found was in the backyard of a new suburban community in the foothills of the Poconos. My dad was a young FBI agent at his first or second posting - we're all from New York. He was posted in Scranton, Pennsylvania and he put the family in a brand new red-brick apartment. It was in a C-shape and behind it was a small hill that led up to the woods. There was a white-washed brick wall that was a perfect theatre! There were windows and all the ladies behind the windows in their apartments. I would go out there after lunch every day and sing opera.” FirstsYoungFoundCommunityWhitePerfectBehindsNew YorkWallDadShapesRedWindowMy DadWoodsTheatreAgentsBrandsHillsLunchOperaApartmentBricksFbiBackyardsBrand NewPennsylvaniaBrick WallFbi Agents Author:Mercedes Ruehl
