About This Quote
My eyes were on the future, not the past. The past was full of mistakes and I wasn't interested in that. I didn't want to be part of that. I wanted to live in the present, to live with what was happening now, because it was so much more exciting than what had happened before or would happen later. It was the only time you could be sure of what would happen next.
