✨The One Piece is real…🥂

Anton who's bursting at the seams with passion and intensity and love and curiosity and a deep weirdness behind that little face. [...] He was a lover of the avant-garde. He was a true explorer, you know, he was always pushing boundaries in his art, in his life and in his experiences. He sought out those kind of really charged moments.

The elegant and the crude and the carnal and the intellectual all just kind of folded into beauty. He didn't ever separate it. It was art. Art was life. Life was art.

He was an explorer, just interested in life. It was intense curiosity. Hindsight is everything. I don't know if it's because maybe he knew he didn't have long, but he was ferociously invested in life. He wanted to eat it up and gobble it up whether it was an art or photography, music, his relationship with his parents, his relationship with his closest friends, traveling, reading and writing. He dove in head first and I think [that mind-set] is a good reminder to be grateful and curious and get off your ass and explore.

I have this great picture of me on the boat. I'm falling asleep on Anton's lap. Anton is with his, like, sweatshirt, and I can tell he's like, "Goddamn." I've probably had been asleep for like an hour on his lap, but he doesn't want to move me. That's really cute. I got that one. - Chris Pine, 2019

There's nothing that can prepare you for something that happens that quickly to someone who's that young. Nothing like that seems like it should happen. Our group, if anything, is a group of friends and family and it was nice to have them around to process what had happened and to pay tribute to who Anton was and to remember him and to smile and to cry and to ride the waves of grief. Our film is a wonderful example of what made him special. You hear the term "light up the screen" and that's Anton. He's this bubbly, lovely, smiling - just a lovable man and so, I will miss him. - Chris Pine, 2016

You know, when I was a kid, I built a homemade crystal radio. I'm thinking of giving it a try in here. Won't be as good as our old one but might work good enough.
