QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I am going to say something I have never said before and this is the truth.
I have no reason to lie to you and God knows I am telling the truth. I think
all my success and fame and I have wanted it, I have wanted it because
I wanted to be loved. That's all. That's the real truth."
