Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing.
In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.
I wasn't a hoarder, but I was on my way. I went to thrift stores and never didn't buy something. A lot of cat figurines, needlepoint, afghans. Grandma stuff, I suppose.
