Courting is a much sweeter term than 'dating'. It sounds like it has more intent, more like an agreement that two people enter into with a future in mind.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.

I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.

Accursed be the city where the laws would stifle nature's!

To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.

Pay attention to the inner voice that tells you when something feels right. Much of your creative problem-solving occurs at an unconscious level.

You might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not.
