"I think we, as the authors of our own lives, get to ascribe the meaning we want. So I choose to look back at my past and think, 'oh, wow, having been through sickness, having lost a parent, having been through moving and living in different countries, and learning different languages, and seeing different socio-economic classes, and having health and being on top of the world, and then losing it, and then being married and being religious, and then divorced... I can have all of this empathy for others to be like, you know what, at the end of the day, we're all the same.'" – Phil
