Carrie Jones Quotes

I like to play around and find the moment.

My parents actually ran drag clubs in Australia, which is how I grew up. It was normal for me. It was my normal.

And a great gay man in their life.

Therefore, they made war with Philip and Antiochus in Greece, in order not to have to fight them in Italy... They never went by that saying which you constantly hear from the wiseacres of our day, that time heals all things. They trusted rather their own character and prudence- knowing perfectly well that time contains the seeds of all things, good as well as bad.
