I admire honesty and straightforwardness combined with true femininity.
I hate looking backward, but every once in a while it sneaks up on you.
I judge a restaurant by the bread & the coffee.
I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don't know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.
Alcoholics are mostly disappointed men.
I always try to improve, to find new ways of expressing myself, to keep looking for truth and originality.
As long as you are curious, you defeat age.
Take the feeling of hunger out of your gut, and you're no longer a champion
