I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much.

The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.

There's nothing I love more than a good cry.

I feel like I'm one of the happiest people I know.

Drugs and alcohol can be so destructive.

I don't understand this whole thing about computers and the superhighway. Who wants to be in touch with all of those people?
