00:30When this love letter came from Leonard, I think she felt that it was all completed.
00:40Poets, they're just elusive creatures who are married to their muse.
00:48It was a love story which had 50 chapters without being together.
00:53Lots of people came to you. Artists. Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Margaret.
01:04There was so much freedom there.
01:06She didn't really enjoy being beautiful before she met Leonard, and he made her love living.
01:17She carried with her a different feel than I ever saw around Leonard.
01:27It felt like anything was possible.
01:30Their dream life in Hydra had a big interruption. Leonard discovered himself as a singer.
01:36She wanted to be with him, and you cannot be with Leonard.
01:45He always had that feeling that he was after something that he couldn't get his hands around.
01:50So much of his writing was about his relationships with women.
02:01He could make women feel good about themselves, but he couldn't give himself to them, because he couldn't give himself away.
02:11They had this place for each other to the very end.
02:16That's what words of love can do.
