I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.
I'm a Golden Globe nominee yes. It's very nice. It's a very nice thing but I kind of think of all the awards I wasn't ever nominated for for years and things.
What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change it's the currency of the world.
I love everything about you that hurts.
I'm constantly having to be vigilant with a depressive tendency an addictive tendency.

Everything is a version of something else.
I used to go with my parents and loved it I was in school plays and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.
