And then we'd form a friendship."

Harry Emerson Fosdick"In a basic sense, 'A Little Life' is a homage to how my friends and I live our lives. I wanted to push past the definitions of how we typically define friendship. It's a different version of adulthood, but it's no less important and no less legitimate than anyone else's."

My faith is also where my core friends are, at my church, a faith-based friendship."
