In their own words 5
, Life is not a fairytale. If you lose your shoe at midnight, you are drunk. If you fall, I will always be there…Much love, Floor. When life shuts a door, open it again.
I am a product of Indian cinema; I’ve grown up watching Indian films ever since I can remember.
When you have a sense of low self-esteem, and when you achieve success, there’s relief more than arrogance.
