I speak about family and adoption because it 100% changed my life and who I am. It definitely played a very large role into just learning how to be grateful for what you have and being fulfilled in a way that a lot of adopted kids don't feel.

Energy, energy? Energy is, is, it's nothing more than a lot of new age hokum masquerading as religion.

Soren Kierkegaard

No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.

Francois Muriac

Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music -- his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting -- that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.

Oscar Wilde

I love Adele, I want her to be my best friend. She could come to the U.S., live with me and sing to me every morning.
