It's time to the face the truth, I will never be with you.

Arnold: I have taught myself to sew, cook, fix plumbing, I can even pat myself on the back when necessary, so I don't have to ask anyone for anything. There's nothing I need from anyone except for love and respect. And anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.

Harvey Fierstein

No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo.

Bruce Hornsby

It is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to hear you out. But don't expect me to change.

John Irving
