I was an only child. I lost both my parents. By the time I was twenty I was bald. I'm homosexual. In the way of circumstances and background to transcend I had everything an artist could possibly want. It was practically a blueprint. I was programmed to be a novelist or a playwright. But I'm not.

Benjamin Franklin

I was very fortunate that I saved my money and I still do.

Rod Stewart

One should never be sexually involved with anyone one genuinely cares for. A sexual relationship guarantees a loss.
