Alive Quote by Ayana Mathis
“I think that the project of being alive is to be alive. So there will always be twists and turns and steps forward and steps back, but that's just your life. There is no sort of place at which to arrive, and I think that the more one focuses on an end point, the harder it is to get there. It's like the horizon, sort of ever receding, ever receding, ever receding.”

![“[Before I Go To Sleep] script was a great journey with all the twists and turns that were kind of unexpected.
