Honestly if a girl’s wearing, like, a Gucci shirt with a Gucci belt and a purse and a visor, that’s not cute at all. You can’t get away with that - with me - but you can always sprinkle it in there with your own stuff and it’s all good.

There is nothing more humanly beautiful than a woman's breasts.
