Quotes by Kerry Winfrey (?)

“Everyone thinks of romantic comedies as being these sappy, unrealistic stories where love conquers all and everyone ends up happy at the end. But that's not what her movies were at all. Like, in Sleepless in Seattle, you can't really get any sadder that Tom Hanks missing his dead wife. And in You've Got Mail, Meg Ryan misses her mom and loses her store. None of that gets resolved by the end. It's not like Tom's wife comes back to life, and Meg Ryan still loses the business her mom built.”
― Kerry Winfrey, Waiting for Tom Hanks

“The things that suck still suck, but they're allowed to be happy. And maybe it means so much more that they're happy, knowing that they still carry that sadness with them.”
― Kerry Winfrey, Waiting for Tom Hanks

“Maybe my person and I won’t fit together like two halves of the same whole, but neither did Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle. They didn’t erase each other’s pain; they just made it bearable.”
― Kerry Winfrey, Waiting for Tom Hanks
