On Loving Love

"I love the feeling of having butterflies in my stomach. Love is the greatest challenge for all of us. You can't control love, you don't even choose it. On the contrary, I think love chooses you, you need to be open to love. I am, I think it should be spontaneous." (Sydney Morning Herald)

On Wedding Traditions
