“The idea of a soul mate is a beautiful thing to put
in a film or in a book, but in real life I’m scared by it. It’s like putting a
label on love. To say, ‘You are, forever, my soul mate,’ is almost like knowing
the end of a story. When you fall madly in love, you think it is forever, and
it might be and it might not be—what matters is not to label
it."—Actress-model-singer Vanessa Paradise, ex-POSSLQ of Johnny Depp,
quoted in Aysegul Sert, “Life After Depp: Vanessa Paradis on Her New Movie, Café de Flore, and the Problem WithSoulmates,” New York Magazine,
