I'm a big lover of fish. Cooking fish is so much more difficult than cooking protein meats, because there are no temperatures in the medium, rare, well done cooking a stunning sea bass or a scallop.

Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.

I dont see much difference between it and the other films though I can see on a rational and intelligent level there is a big difference.

Many infidels have maintained that Ignorance is the mother of Devotion.

I think envy motivates a lot of people.
