You get to a certain age and you just don't give a damn about what people think anymore.
It wasn't that I was in love with him. It was that I was in love with the idea of being in love.
People only see what they expect to see, and sometimes they only see what they want to see.
Sometimes the past seems too big to escape.
The truth is a dangerous thing, but sometimes it's the right thing.
I had seen too much, and it was all becoming a part of me.
The hardest secrets to keep are the ones you keep from yourself.
We lie because we want people to love us.
There's no such thing as innocence. Only degrees of guilt.
