“Love is a flame that turns me around,I float on its currents, I dance to its sound.As I move past the tears that fall from my eyesThere’s nothing to say except to ask whyYou can’t be here.”

“I will move on. I will smile and laugh and dance. I will run, not from my past, but toward my future. Towards...me.”

“In my opening seconds, I would say, "It's great to be here," then move to several other spots on the stage and say, "No, it's great to be here!" I would move again: "No, it's great to be here!”

“Like a ghost that dances on the tip of a lit cigarette,I know what romance is, but it hasn't happened yet.Watch it floating up to heaven only knows,Disappearing before you get too close-It's only smoke. You might say a flame was burning, only smoke--but my heart is more discerning, I keep dreaming of a fireBut when I wake up to the cold--It's only smoke.Eyes are hypnotizing when they hold you within their embrace.Words are mezmerizing even when they've got nothing to say.The game is charming in an empty kind of way.What's the harm in asking me to play?It's only smoke. You might say a flame was burning, only smoke--but my heart is more discerning, I keep dreaming of a fireBut when I wake up to the cold--It's only smoke.”

“I look down past the stars to a terrifying darkness. I seem to recognize the place, but it's impossible. "Accident," I whisper. I will fall. I seem to desire the fall, and though I fight it with all my will I know in advance I can't win. Standing baffled, quaking with fear, three feet from the edge of a nightmare cliff, I find myself, incredibly, moving towards it. I look down, down, into bottomless blackness, feeling the dark power moving in me like an ocean current, some monster inside me, deep sea wonder, dread night monarch astir in his cave, moving me slowly to my voluntary tumble into death.”

“And I never felt this way with anyone else. Like I’m falling every time I’m around you, like I can’t catch my breath, and I feel alive—not just standing around and letting my life walk past me. There’s been nothing like that with anyone else.”
