I just like the continue doing what I've been doing. A melange of funny, straight drama, television, movies, a little theater here and there wouldn't hurt. So if I can keep doing that, I'll be a very happy person.

Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Familiarity can sometimes hide the truth about our connections with others.
This quote by Mary Tyler Moore suggests that even when we think we know someone well, deeper understanding can reveal the paradox that we may not truly know them at all. It emphasizes the complexities of human relationships, where surface-level familiarity can obscure the true nature of an individual and their inner thoughts or feelings.

Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children.

Our lives are stories, and the stories we have to give to each other are the most important. No one has a story too small and all are of equal stature. We each tell them in different ways, through different mediums—and if we care about each other, we'll take the time to listen.
