You deserved to be loved. And I hope you get to marry for love and not a number.

The best thing that can happen is for the theme to be nice and clear from the beginning.

I'll buy myself some plastic water, I should have married Lennon's daughter.

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.
