Liam once said something in an interview that changed how I thought about my own work. I've never forgotten it.
Yes. This.
I never met Liam, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.
Rest well, Liam. The work is done, and it was good.
Gone too soon, even at any age. There was so much more to come.
Sending love to everyone grieving today. Liam belonged to all of us, and we all lost something.
