Quotes edit

“"There are two kinds of people in Hollywood.Actors who want to act and those who want fame. The ones who go after fame deserve everythingthey get, so don't cry to me about the tabloid liars. It's what you wanted, Aidan. Everyone knowswho you are. You should have been satisfied with the acting alone. But no, you had to have more.So now you got all you wanted and everything that goes with it."”
Heather -
“"Because people are ever willing to believe the negative over the positive. It's easier for you tothink me corrupt and evil than it is for you to see me for what I really am. No one wants tobelieve that some people are willing to help others out of the goodness of their hearts becausethey can't stand to see someone suffer. So few people are altruistic that they can't understand orconceive that anyone else in the world could ever put someone else's good above their own."”
Leta -
“"Victory never goes to the coward."”
