Sigmund Freud

Stories start in all sorts of places. Where they begin often tells the reader of what to expect as they progress.

P.D. James

I think whenever people talk about the 'Anna Sui woman,' they're talking about someone that's probably kind of more downtown, and there's always like this ambiguity: Is she a good girl, or a bad girl?
