protecting Selma

I felt strongly about protecting her, because I thought I knew her pretty well. We got a lot of things in common.

I’ve been very lucky. All of my dreams have come true — and more so. And it’s sort of the opposite with her, right ?

But I probably would have reacted like her in the circumstances she was put in. We’re so self-sufficient and so euphoric on our own that we don’t need a lot of the things that the common world has to offer. That for me is a sign of strength.
