"I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life." ― Taylor Swift Topic(s): Good More From Taylor Swift "When I’m getting to know someone, I look for someone who has passions that I respect, like his career. Someone who loves what he does is really attractive." "I’m not the girl who always has a boyfriend. I’m the girl who rarely has a boyfriend." "I don’t think I’d ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music." More In Good "The principle element in a performance is risk, and if you’re losing interest then by scaring yourself to death the audience will feel it and boy it’ll wake them up."― Leo Kottke "Do not ever say that the desire to “do good” by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives."― Ayn Rand "I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, ‘Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?’"― Mitch Albom
