“I have been lucky enough to have enjoyed art in many areas, as if these different areas of art—visual arts, music, poetry, performance, acting, etc.—are different aspects of my lover’s beautiful and complicated personality, which not only make her so flamboyant, but make me feel blessed by her love.”

—Koorosh
