There just isn’t enough cock in this world to be caught suckin’ and be called anything but a slut for life.

Then again, you don’t get famous for being daddy’s little angel, but you can easily fall into the Infamy Bracket by preaching a made-up Bible quote now and again. They say I’m shallow, but I’ve made a living out off diving off the deep end.
