The dark eyes are for the villains … the Grim Reaper, the Joker, zombies. It’s funny, but I always thought I could trust blue eyes. But I wasn’t random, was I? And it was a good act.

They’re pretty powerful, you know, those eyes, pretty beautiful, too. Those blue, blue eyes, icy blue, looking back at me as if I could warm them up. No one had ever looked at me like that before, with that kind of intensity. In the airport, that day in August, you had that look in your eyes, as though you wanted something from me, as though you’d wanted it for a long time.
