C'est Si Bon

"It's all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit."


Eartha Kitt rides a bike down the street in New York City. Photographer Gordon Parks shot this for LIFE Magazine in July, 1952.

Lady of the Night

Well, I'll say I have an incredible ability to fantasize - I really do. I don't have to have things tangible to be able to see them, and therefore I enjoy so many things, because they're in my mind.

- Donna Summer

...in loving memory.

You will never be perfect

"He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you."


- Bob Marley

Excuse me while I kiss the sky

“I didn’t ask Jimi to smile, he just naturally was quite smiley, and we laughed quite a lot at the session. That was the first session in ’67, and funnily enough most young men in music, young musicians, want to look mean, moody and sexy.”


- Gered Mankowitz (Photographer)

I am a bird now

I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.

I'm afraid of you? Are you cracked?

Motorcycles, rebellion, and the open road wouldn’t be the same without Marlon Brando’s “The Wild One” (1953).

"It begins here for me on this road. How the whole mess happened I don't know, but I know it couldn't happen again in a million years. Maybe I could of stopped it early, but once the trouble was on its way, I was just goin' with it. Mostly I remember the girl. I can't explain it - a sad chick like that, but somethin' changed in me. She got to me, but that's later anyway. This is where it begins for me right on this road."

The body never lies

I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer's body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being.

Immortality

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

Sweet Love - Anita!

I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.
