Steve Martin
A girl who is willing to give every ounce of herself to someone, who could never betray her lover, who never suspects maliciousness of anyone, and whose sexuality sleeps in her, waiting to be stirred.
Steve Martin
I can understand the drug thing. So they feel that it's more important to take the drugs than to do a good show for the people.
