“Sweet are your words, sweeter is your Heart
Vicious was my world before you've shown your graceful radiance
Doubt sometimes because you're too good to be true
The first time I saw you makes me wanna be a better man”
“Your life experience is a moving picture, of which you are writer, director, performer, producer and critic.”
