As far as I can remember, every dime I ever had went to something extravagant. I would rather spend more, buy fewer items and have them forever.

Just throw me in my coffin now with these earrings on.

I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a VIP.

I did not have a van, or wear Birkenstocks and tie-dyes.

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

A good catcher is the quarterback, the carburetor, the lead dog, the pulse taker, the traffic cop and sometimes a lot of unprintable things, but no team gets very far without one.

Our breath is brief, and being so Let's make our heaven here below, And lavish kindness as we go.
