Even though I love my mother, I didn't want to make an idealized portrait of her. I'm fascinated more by her defects - they are funnier than her other qualities.

Woman's Skepticism
love, desire, passion, fire, is all the qualities that you seek
for this is what will make you complete.
the man will normally have the passion and desire
while the woman has the love and the fire.
his desires could light a stack of timber
and leave your body totally limber.
it will grow so strong, that it turns into passion
and not caring about which feelings is in fashion.
he has to quench this irresistible urge
burning every part of his being
and this is all that he is seeing.
the fire spreads throughout his brain
leaving him totally insane.
he finally realizes that this ' must be love'.
and these feelings were all brought on by you
and to his heart, he must be true.
when you finally find a man who has all these qualities
you have become so skeptical
that these qualities you do not see.
open your eyes for i am here.
let me take away that fear.
my love has become embedded so deep in my soul
that my heart it did take hold.

At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.

There is a strange duality in the human which makes for an ethical paradox. We have definitions of good qualities and of bad; not changing things, but generally considered good and bad throughout the ages and throughout the species. Of the good, we think always of wisdom, tolerance, kindliness, generosity, humility; and the qualities of cruelty, greed, self-interest, graspingness, and rapacity are universally considered undesirable. And yet in our structure of society, the so-called and considered good qualities are invariable concomitants of failure, while the bad ones are the cornerstones of success.

I'm not convinced that what are traditionally considered to be male energies or qualities or female energies or qualities really have as much to do with gender as many people think they do.

I start with actors that I know personally or I know their work, and there are things about their work or their presence or their own personality that make a character, that exaggerates some qualities and suppresses other qualities. It's always a real collaboration for me.

For The Death Of A Friend
Dani you are in the hearts of many,
A true friend that's hard to find,
You have many qualities,
That no one could of out shined!
You have that beautiful smile,
That could light up any room,
Take away the darkness,
And burn away the gloom.
Truly caring compassionate,
Qualities of a cherished friend,
With your heart of gold,
And a love with no end.
You will be missed by many,
As u spread your wings and fly,
Soring as a sparrow,
Watching over us from the sky.
Dani you are forever in our hearts,
As you go to a special place,
We will cherish you forever,
As God showers you with merciful Grace!

Love is very patient and very kind,
True love is not boastful;
Love is not jealous,
Love is not provoked,
True love never fails;
And, you have all these qualities.
Melinda my love,
Come strainght to my heart.

Think before saying
Think, before saying!
Think, avant de dire!
And remember!
There are situations
When it's better to keep them dark.
Squabbles, rows and quarrels.........
There are so much rubbish
In the human world.
So, it might be better
To send the company above...
To hell!
Don't look for having things out!
They are just waste words.
You better look around
Cause the years fly away.
Look at the man!
Look at him!
Beauty and intellect
Are garish qualities.
You better look
For his heart and strength
They are worthwhile qualities.
It seems to you:
He is handsome and jolly.
What prejudices they are!
Judge by deeds
And not by words!
That's what you are!
