Notable Quotes

[16:19] "Don't be mad at Saturn. He's trying to teach you boundaries. He's trying to show you limits. He's trying to teach you that you can do more with less, and that you probably have a lot of extra that you could do without.."-Bonnie

[26:04] "Venus says I'm enough because I'm enough. It's not because I do anything for the world."-Bonnie

[47:38] "Venus doesn't give homework that is 'I'm going to then come back and check and you're either going to pass or fail.' That's not her department. She's not going to give you a list; that's not Venus's style. And she's also not going to give you a deadline. The logline I have for Venus and time is 'Never late, always worth the wait.'" - Bonnie
