Why didn't I fall for all the vices of young stardom? My dad would have beaten the s--- out of me if I had gone the drug route. I'm not kidding. Plus, I never really felt the need for it.

I will walk up to a friend and say you're drinking way too much.

My brother and I were able to fantasize far more extravagantly about our parents' tastes and desires, their aspirations and their vices, by scanning their bookcases than by snooping in their closest. Their selves were on their shelves.

To love a woman for her virtues is meaningless. She's earned it, it's a payment, not a gift. But to love her for her vices is a real gift, unearned and undeserved. To love her for her vices is to defile all virtue for her sake - and that is a real tribute of love, because you sacrifice your conscience, your reason, your integrity and your invaluable self-esteem.
vices sacrifice virtue
