She will come around and hit you in the face and knock you over and before you know what hit you, you're naked- stripped of everything you thought you knew and everything you thought you didn't know- and there you are! A bloody nose, bruises all over you, and naked. And it's the most beautiful thing."

"At 50, everyone has the face he deserves."

"Life is hell, at some point we all just have to get used to it."
