#the real world

To me, the newspaper business was a way to learn about life and how things worked in the real world and how people spoke.

I think it's sad to me that I had to make a decision to not play the game that I feel like I'm best at and that I love. But if it was just about the game itself, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But that's not how the real world works. ↗

But in fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real world. ↗

They don't actually see the real world, where 95% of the people with HIV are not treated and are dying. And even though we have some blue sky now in our country, the sky could become cloudy again very soon. ↗

If you start to find that kind of luxury as a normal thing, you don't belong in the real world. ↗
