| Quotes: |
I can be pretty nasty. Not 'mean' nasty, but nasty by your parents' standards. But not by my parents' standards, because my parents were nasty for their day.
<br />
<hr>
I'm afraid of making a mistake. I'm not totally neurotic, but I'm pretty neurotic about it. I'm as close to totally neurotic as you can get without being totally neurotic.
<br />
<hr>
Nudity is who people are at the most interesting point of the evening, when they take off their protective layer, when no one is watching. |
