“All I wanted was to be loved for myself." (Erik)”
“I want you to take off the mask, Erik, do you hear me? I want you to take it off right now. -Luciana”
“Men wanted me. They all did, however briefly, but none of them wanted to keep me. That's what I needed. I needed to be owned, loved. BUT NOT BY A MAN. I knew then that I never needed to be kept by a man. What I needed was to love myself, to want to keep myself around. And in that revelation, I knew that if I wanted to keep myself, that a man wanting to keep me would just be a by-product.”
“I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. ”
“Erik, Erik! I saved your life! Remember? You were scentenced to death! But for me you would be dead by now. ”
“What I needed was to love myself, to want to keep myself around.”
