"You can explain what you want to do and then it's as much your creation as anything."
"Some of these people we've met throughout this journey, and they're only here for a certain period of time, but we get so close to them throughout art and I feel like art is the kind of thing that really, really brings us together."
"You don't have to be at the very end of your life to access our services. The thing we ask everyone that comes here is what is most important to you, what matters most to you?"
