Hours Quotes

• I am grateful for what I call well-spent moments: Making a tuna fish sandwich with the works. Taking at least a half hour to eat it outside.

Her parents were unable to understand why they found bottles of sour milk in every room in the house.

• Looking good kept me out of trouble. When I worked for Michael Alig, everybody was overdoing partying.

I would take hours and hours to get ready. If you have high heels on, if you're dressed nice, you really can't be drunk or sloppy because it's dangerous. It's part of being a lady, so it really kept me out of trouble.
