- self, author of 'The Girl with Seven Names': I'm thinking, if I'm a bird, I can fly anywhere I want. What if I'm flying to North Korea seeing everyone there? And I was thinking, what if you see your friend is dying for starvation or sickness? You are one little bird. So is it happy for you to see that reality, or is it just better if you don't know, you don't see that. Which one makes you happy?
