"There are certain shades of limelight that can ruin a girls complexion"

The was said by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys and I alway choose to apply it to my life and addiction in a small way.  First of all, I love Audrey Hepburn.  She signifies all the beauty eloquence, grace and nobility that I want to have in my own life.  My best friend, also named Audrey, died yesterday.  She comitted sucide, but it was more the drugs that did her in.  Audrey and I would watch all of Audrey's movies together and be transported away from our troubles to a place where honesty, romance and beauty reigned supreme.
This quote always reminded me -- as I work on the stage -- that there are certain temptations everyone in such an environment as mine can be tempted by.  

Here are some other quotes that remind and help me through:

There's sinning in my heart, there's evil in the world, but when I got no one, I talk to God.  I ask for strength.  I ask for forgiveness, not peace at the end of my days when I got no more life to live or no more good to do, but today...right now.  whats your heaven?" ~Black Snake Moan
