The nice thing about us lot is that what we do is of no consequence. We don't do things that are important we spend our lives doing things which are not important.

Marianne Faithfull
I don't see decadence really as what you do, because I don't do much at all that is decadent in my life. But I still am decadent. It's a state of mind, I think.
