I am an American. I adore Britain and have a strong English half, but my roots are here in the U.S. - it is not a matter of choice; it is simply fact. ↗

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ↗

I would love to have children, yes. Maybe even adopt them. I'm not sure that I should pass on my genes. ↗

The laughs mean more to me than the adoration. If two girls walk up to me and one says 'you're cute', I'll say thank you, but I appreciate it much more when the other one says 'you make me laugh so much'. ↗
