Sometimes, you just have to clear your head and get out to see other things. It is very important to be nourished.

...Everybody likes sex. The world would be a better place if people just engaged in sex and didn't worry about it. But what I prefer is that even if someone feels hedonistic, they don't look it. Curiosity about sex is much more interesting to me than domination. Like, Britney and Paris and Pamela might be someone's definition of sexy, but they're not mine. My clothes are not hot. Never. Never. View quote

I don't love Photoshop; I like imperfection. It doesn't mean ugly. I love a girl with a gap between her teeth, versus perfect white veneers. Perfection is just... boring. Perfect is what's natural or real; that is beauty. View quote

What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me. View quote
