Quote by Rick Moranis

Well, I took a sabbatical. I walked away from shooting movies because I couldn't handle the travel. I'm a single parent. I had young kids, and I found that keeping in touch with them from hotel rooms and airports wasn't working for me. So I stopped.

Summary

This quote reflects the decision of the speaker, who is an actor, to take a break from their career in filmmaking. The reason behind this choice was the difficulties they faced in balancing their responsibilities as a single parent with the demands of a busy travel schedule. The speaker's decision arose from a desire to be more present for their young children, as they realized that communication from remote locations was not sufficient for maintaining a strong connection. Ultimately, prioritizing their role as a parent led to the temporary pause in their professional pursuits.

The ages of seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
