Quotes:
"My first kiss happened when I was pushed into a closet with a girl, like in the old movies. We didn't know how to kiss. It was the funniest thing - we just moved our mouths. I remember I was sweating like crazy, because I was so nervous. When we first got pushed into the closet, we were like, 'Hey, get us out!' but then we started kissing and the door opened and I was like, 'No, close the door'. I wanted to stay in there."
"No matter what I do, I go at it full-tilt and can't be stopped."
