In hip-hop, what you have is you have a lot of formulaic-type bands or rappers that come up. They saw something on the radio, and they want to mimic that formula. And that’s just boring.

People approach you for the work they have seen you do. I don’t think people see me as a lover boy dancing around, so I haven’t received a role of that kind. I’m going to do roles that appeal to me.
No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest. The majestic crowns approaching one another make a glorious canopy, through the feathery arches of which the sunbeams pour, silvering the needles and gilding the stately columns and the ground into a scene of enchantment.

I’m a lover, I love love.

I am a dog and a cat lover; doesn’t matter which animal it is but dogs are cuter at times.
Before 9/11, I was playing a wide range of characters. I would play a lover, a cop, a father. As long as I could create the illusion of the character, the part was given to me. But after 9/11, something changed. We became the villains, the bad guys. I don’t mind to play the bad guy as long as the bad guy has a base.

I haven’t worked enough to worry about getting typecast, but I do as a film lover didn’t want to be working with the bad guys. I didn’t want to be making a movie I thought was contributing to a lower base of movies that I just didn’t think were helping people, really.
I’m a really big animal lover.
When my lover Hubert Sorin was dying of AIDS, he was always trying to fix me up – posthumously, as it were – with the cute busboy at the hotel.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.
I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I’ve always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I’d fall in love with a woman. Damn.
Tenderness is the name for a lover’s most exquisite sensation; protection is implied in his most generous and heart-thrilling impulse.
I read academic books on courtesan culture at the turn-of-the century in Shanghai such as Gail Hershatter’s ‘The Gender of Memory’. The diaries were mostly in the form of letters from courtesans to a lover who had disappeared or taken their savings.

I’ve always been a great lover of Barcelona and the structure of the club.
My mission is to get on the stage and say, ‘Listen, I’m a woman, I’m free, I’m a mother, I’m a lover, I’m a friend; I’m shattered by men most of the time, but I’ll keep falling in love with them because it’s the most thrilling thing in the world; that’s what makes me human.’
