Once I erupt, they'll be wiping my verbal ashes off their windshields as far away as North Dakota.

Rebecca Godfrey
— Intriguing Author & Investigative JournalistI saw this girl dancing, and I moved closer to her because I liked the way she looked, haughty and sexy but not in a slutty way, and when I got closer to her, I realized she was me and I was looking at my reflection in the mirror. I looked like the kind of girl I'd always wanted to befriend.
Jacques-Louis David

Take this list and make a work that satisfies all of the things on your list without caring if it looks like art.

Bipasha Basu
— Indian actress and modelI have been into bodies and fitness, so I am very critical about how a body should look in terms of flaunting it.
