Summary

This quote suggests that individuals involved in show business and the entertainment industry operate in a highly uncertain and unpredictable environment. They do not have a clear idea of what events or outcomes will occur. The expression "fly by the seat of our pants" signifies that they often make decisions or respond to situations based on intuition or gut feelings, rather than following a predetermined plan. This relentless uncertainty is a defining characteristic of their profession, requiring quick thinking and adaptability.

I remember my brother as such a gentle and loving child, the best big brother a girl could hope for, but I remember when I started to sense our family's world tilting on its axis, the kaleidoscope turning, when things started to go wrong. From then on, it was like we were still ourselves, but our lives played out as though reflected back to us from a funhouse mirror.
