People think I'm really melancholy and romantic and all whispery. I'm not at all. I'm very direct.

If you're not a daydreamer, you haven't got any imagination.

Addiction is an increasing desire for an act that gives less and less satisfaction

I practice self-love, give love, and surround myself with people who bring out the best in me.

Wherever you go and whomever you meet, you will find your own love waiting for you.

Fastidiousness is the envelope of indelicacy.
