It was like seeing someone in the soil she was designed to be planted in, which was just this abundance of joy and this abundance of love. And I thought, ‘I want to be a part of that soil.’ That was the moment."— Peter on Mariska

It’s this fantastically, wonderfully ridiculous way that we can swing back and forth any number of times in any given day. But fundamentally we know we have the same destination. We know where we’re headed, and it’s good. And we know we’ll get there together."— Peter on Mariska
