I'm definitely one of those chicks who want to be in a relationship. I need somebody who can make me laugh and entertain me.
I'm finding that I tend to be one of those people who gets into very committed, long-term relationships, and then I really focus on that relationship and not so much myself.
The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.

I visited my father for the full ten years that he was in prison, so we already had a deep and loving relationship, and remembered our mother at those times.
I have always been a romantic, one of those people who believes that a woman in pink circus tights contains all the secrets of the universe.
I respect only those who resist me, but I cannot tolerate them.
I respect those who openly advocate for unlimited immigration to the United States. Open borders is an intellectually coherent, defensible position.
