Sometimes indifference can be so erotic. I think the people who are most dismissive of you get the most of your attention.

A difficult crowd will always test your true ability.

My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I'm quite a loving person and I've always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I'm very interested in other people, and if you are, they're interested in you.
