"What I mean is simply that everywhere we look there is someone capable of loving us, but the problem we have as human beings is that we are looking for a particular kind of love and we may not have it at the time that we are looking for it. I think that we want to be loved a certain way, whether that way is through support, sex, encouragement, or intellectualism, but the problem lies in the fact that we as individuals are searching for our the way that we need to be loved at a particular time. Simply put, we are not creatures who are looking for love. We are creatures that are looking for the type of love that will fulfill us and our particular needs. Sounds selfish, I know, but it's not...it's basic and instinctual."
