Vincent de Paul

If you're looking for like, a pure base for your behavior on stage, maybe it's better to say, "Yeah, you're not obliged to pretend. But, you're also obliged to not pretend."

In the end, by having a point of view, by taking a stand for things you believe in, you're ultimately always going to offend people. That's good.

Or, as my psychiatrist likes to say, better to live one year as a tiger than 100 as a sheep.

Madonna Ciccone

The etiquette of intimacy is very different from the etiquette of formality, but manners are not just something to show off to the outside world.
