I have to have nature around me. I love the earth and this insanely beautiful creation that we live in. I just think it's to be marveled at and appreciated. It gives us life.

I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.

I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

Many a night I saw the Pleiads, Rising thro' the mellow shade, Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies, Tangled in a silver braid.

Today is the only guarantee you get.

I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more.

I won't let people write anything they want to about me.
