I said Revolver is my favorite The Beatles album, but only because it came to my head and it's a brilliant one. But they're all pretty brilliant. There's variations, but they're all brilliant, and it just depends on if they're very brilliant, or just a bit brilliant. It changes.

Soren Kierkegaard

I think I connect to people who could be written off as wild or dark, or who are just full of fire and looking for a place to put that fire.
