I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing.

On the last morning of Virginia's bloodiest year since the Civil War I built a fire and sat facing a window of darkness where at sunrise I knew I would find the sea.

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

I will love the light for it shows me the way yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another only a look and a voice then darkness again and a silence.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

In complete darkness it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.

In complete darkness we are all the same it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us don't let your eyes deceive you.

I definitely gravitate towards quality genre projects and genre of any kind whether it's science fiction horror or really anything. I'm just drawn to quality. I don't think 'Darkness Falls' is horror there isn't any gore by any stretch of the imagination.

I was a product of a divorced family and I used humor as a weapon to combat sadness. I used comedy to make my mother laugh in light of the darkness that she faced and to me it became a very powerful tool at a very young age at six. I saw how therapeutic it could be.
