Oh, say! what is that thing call'd light, Which I must ne'er enjoy? What are the blessings of the sight? Oh, tell your poor blind boy!

I cannot live alone.

My mom worked late, and I was at home a lot by myself. It was good for my imagination - and bad for it, too.

That's a terrifying prospect for myself, and I'm sure many other people, as well. We leave TVs on in our house. I listen to my record player, constantly, to just hear music. I'm really intrigued by the idea of solitude. I'm excited about that.

Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.

So the blind will lead the blind, and the deaf shout warnings to one another until their voices are lost.

It's terrifying. It's so scary, because you get used to being around the crew and being friendly with everyone and then suddenly, at a certain point, everything switches and you're the one standing behind the lights and nobody's going to help you. And that can be really difficult sometimes.

Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.
