Rachel Perry Photo Shoot Bonus!
By Rob Brink
October 2002

The following is a list of quotes from Rachel regarding love, sex and relationships that she spewed during our conversations. My initial idea was to include them as a sidebar for the article and jokingly present Rachel as some sort of prohetic "relationship expert." Stance canned that idea. I'm not sure if that was because of available space in the mag or my idea just sucking. I have also included some candids from the Stance photo shoot.

Proposed Rachel Perry Sidebar on Love, Dating, Sex, Relationships, etc.

• “I don't necessarily believe in love at first site. There's work involved.”
• “Young guys have to realize that they can have a girl, but they have to figure out how to play it.”
• “All you have to do to get a chick in bed for regular sex basically is be consistent, call her, do nice things for her. If you know that she likes you, you have to chase it a little bit and put in the effort.”
• “I believe in love. I really want to be loved. I have a longing for love.”
• “Looks are part of it, but I need something more, someone who is as crazy as me. I want a guy who wants to do something stupid like jump in the fountain at Central Park, or makes melaugh or inspires me to want to learn about something. I'm not a hopeless romantic though.”
  
• “Be uninhibited and be yourself regardless of what anyone thinks.”
• “I've seen too much of the inside of the music industry to even care about dating musicians.”
• “Does it bother you if you sleep with someone right away? Does that really mean anything?”
• “I meet a lot of guys that are celebrities, athletes, musicians, whatever, but my friends are always like ‘Why don't you date a nice accountant?' And I said, ‘Are you going to find me an accountant that's exciting and crazy and fun?'
• “Things get so much more complicated when you get older. I used to be so uninhibited, fuck it, I'd call a guy, but now there are all these rules. You can't call right away, and they have to chase you and you have to make them earn it and all this stuff. And I'm like, ‘if you like me, just call me and let's have fun.'”
• “I'm so envious of all my friends who got into a relationship really young and got married and had a baby, because now they don't have to deal with all this bullshit.”
• “I don't like when a guy is obsessive over me.”
• “I'm on a career mission, but there is always room for love.”
