“If you don't go to bed at night with your bones aching from wanting it, you don't really want it. When your bones ache from wanting something, nothing and nobody will stop you getting it.”
“I want you, I want all of you. I want you inside and out and catching your breath and aching for me like I ache for you.”
“If you really want to be a writer, nobody can stop you -- and if you don't, nobody can help you.”
“Don't you understand? I want to spend my life with you. I want you to be there when I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning.”
“It's your life. If you don't make it so that you get what you want, nobody else will.”
“You don't dare to think ahead too much, for you don't want this melted under the heat of your attention, don't want it gone from your life.”
