Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Donnie Wahlberg: (Leaving town) helped me to know what it was like to come home after experiencing a new way of life--to see some people haven't changed; some people have changed for the worse; some people tell you they've changed for the better, but they haven't. So it's interesting to go away and come back, because things haven't changed so much. The trick is not to get sucked back into it.
