One of the juiciest pleasures of life is to be able to salute and embrace, as elected leaders and honored representatives, people whom you first met when they were on the run or in exile or (like Adam) in and out of jail.

Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life. ↗

With a labyrinth, you make a choice to go in - and once you've chosen, around and around you go. But you always find your way to the center. ↗
