And yet this is farther than I’ve ever fell; You know me much too well. Funny it don’t feel like we just met. It didn’t take much time. Forever’s more than crossed my mind, and we haven’t even said ‘I love you’ yet.
Lyrics to Song
…the title stuck in my head. I thought about your predisposition toward pink. I wrote Pretty In Pink the week after we finished Sixteen Candles. I so desperately hate to end these movies that the first thing I do when I’m done is write another one. Then I don’t feel sad about having to leave and everybody going away. That’s why I tend to work with the same people; I really befriend them. I couldn’t speak after Sixteen Candles was over. I returned to the abandoned house, and they were tearing down your room. And I was just horrified, because I wanted to stay there forever.
…waking up every morning and getting to be me and play music. You know, forever I was a waitress and covered all my tattoos. I had to do that thing, and so I wake up simply every morning so grateful that I get to not do that, and that I get to do whatever crazy thing I’m doing. It has everything to do with my dreams and music and stuff. So there’s that just basic principle in my life. I’m extremely grateful every day.
Christina Perri Interview
Talks About Her Whirlwind Year, Special Moments, and Her Amazing Fans
By Bill Lamb, About.com Guide
I suppose nowadays it’s all a question of surgery, isn’t it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it’s important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it’s great fun growing old.
Next, we must help parents protect their children from the gravest health threat that they face ~~ an epidemic of teen smoking, spread by multimillion dollar marketing campaigns. I challenge Congress ~~ let’s pass bipartisan, comprehensive legislation that will improve public health, protect our tobacco farmers and change the way tobacco companies do business forever. Let’s do what it takes to bring teen smoking down. Let’s raise the price of cigarettes by up to $1.50 a pack over the next 10 years with penalties on the tobacco industry if it keeps marketing to our children.
1998 State of the Union Address ~ January 27, 1998 ~
In America’s ideal of freedom, the public interest depends on private character – - on integrity and tolerance toward others and the rule of conscience in our own lives. Self~government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self.That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards,and sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran and the varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before – - ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today and forever.
