Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

I used to live in los angeles, but i didn't want my kids to grow up in the thick of the obsession with movie-making. there's a lot of sensationalism and superficiality. i wanted to take my kids out of that and raise 'em up elsewhere, and i wanted to stop being preoccupied with whether my star is on the rise or the descent. i can't imagine having a much greater life, and i don't want to be preoccupied with things that don't matter. but of course, ironically, my two oldest daughters have decided that they're going to be actresses.

I’m not at peace anymore. i just want him like i used to in the old days. i want to be eating sandwiches with him. i want to be drinking with him in a bar. i’m tired and i don’t want anymore pain. i want maurice. i want ordinary corrupt human love. dear god, you know i want to want your pain, but i don’t want it now. take it away for a while and give it me another time.

Its seems to me - it's likely that heaven's here right now. if you could take life with its pain and misery, where you fail and you sometimes win, and if you package it into a game, people would pay a fortune to have this game. and i don't know that i'd want it to be resolved so peacefully that the game would be all over.
