“Some blazes can’t be extinguished; some forces can’t be controlled. And I will love you whether you want me to or not. There is no other way for me to exist without love, the soul bursting, heart-exploding kind of powerful magnetic love we crave.”

“Sometimes I find myself in the eye of my own hurricane.… He was trouble in my life interrupting my world crashing into my dreams but I was a fucking storm the lightening to his thunder so, what more could a little chaos add but a beautiful catastrophic eruption.”

“Certain words, certain expressions. Things like ‘I love you’ and ‘I hate you.’ They’re big traps for actors. They can tempt you away from the connection you’ve developed with your partner and lead you into swamplands of clichéd performing. ‘Love’ and ‘hate’ are powerful words, and for some reason, we feel like we must fulfill them—and other words like them—whenever we say them. But we don’t have to.”Bill turns to Adam. “Actors hit that line—‘you know I’m absolutely crazy about you. Don’t you?’—and go all kablooey. Your head’s saying, ‘How can I not say a line like that without letting love swim into the duck pond? But inside you’re saying, ‘To hell will love! This girl’s really pissed me off, breaking off an important date like that.’ Follow your true inner response. It will never lead you astray. You’ll be bubbling up with impatience and irritation and you’ll say a line like that and it’ll have new meaning. It’ll have your meaning. Remember: Bad actors consciously adjust their inner responses to what they think the lines of the text require. Good actors adjust the text to the inner emotional line created by their sensitized responses to the other actor.”Adam says, “I get it. I was trying to act the words.”Bill nods. “You were manipulating yourself, cutting off our real response in order to live up to what you thought the text demanded of you. But any line can mean anything, and come out of you in any way.”

“Sometimes she’s the gentle rain caressing you softly. Sometimes she’s the hurricane loving you madly.”

“Intimacy requires accommodation and gentleness at it’s core, and does with phrases like “If it bothers you I won’t do it,” and “Now I understand.” And “Thank you for telling me that. I hadn’t seen it in that light.” And “I appreciate you taking the time to get through my defences. I am sorry I put up such a fight.”You’d be surprised how much power there is in respect, and how much respect comes back, and how much intimacy there is when you empower someone instead of overpower them, and how much more love.”

“Believe me when I confess I am comfortable with the madness in you.”

“I love the mystery of you. Wonder if I would love the reality, too.”

“Why do you love me,” she asked. “Because you are the light and I am the moth. You can’t control your flame and I damn sure cannot control my attraction to it. You are going to rise for all your goodness and I will smolder in hell for causing you harm and breaking your heart,” he replied.”

“Their eyes met, their souls locked, you could feel heat as the love between them caught fire as an explosion of two souls bursting in the atmosphere.”

“Possess me with your love Wholly, completely, devour me. Call me selfish, this is how I demand my lovers. Soul on soul, flesh on flesh, nothing less.”

“Take me to that special place where you kiss me and the world forgets to exist fears evaporate insecurities obliterate.”

“There is hungry desperation in a lover’s kiss when it is enamored in love and I am famished for the depth of your soul your body’s intoxicating embrace.”

“Take me to that special place where the sea becomes the sky where day fades into night so easily when we kiss.”

“There were many who charmed her, but only one who truly understood her mind, graced her heart, and made her feel deliciously delirious. When that lovely soul kissed her soul, her heart became a thousand times more beautiful.”

“And they say that there is no intimacy unless there is mutual acceptance and mutual trust, no matter whatever else there is, and I would side with them.”
