"Summer, to me, is long days, longer nights, night swims, less layers, more sweat, heavy air and a sense of adventure."

"Summer love is different because you tend to feel more free, you feel as though it will never end."

"I know it’s summer when I can leave the house without a jacket and everyone looks beautiful. When things heat up I embrace it whole-heartedly. I love intensity, heat and all that comes with it."

"My ultimate songs of summer are Wouldn’t It Be Nice by the Beach Boys, Cet Air-Là by France Gall, I’m Straight by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, Tropical Hot Dog Night by Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band, Peaches by the Stranglers."
