Cruel World has been my favourite track from Ultraviolence ever since I recorded it.

Be like snow - cold, but beautiful.

Be Young, Be Dope, Be Proud.

I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.

What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.

No matter how many people give me advice, I am going to do what my heart tells me to do

Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don't fail forever.

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul?

Sometimes I wish I was a beautiful machine so I could resist your kiss and not cry when you're mean.

In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

What has happened in the past is gone

The child is small, and he includes the man; the brain is narrow, and it harbours thought; the eye is but a point, and it covers leagues

Joy is the life of man's life.

A person that says, 'Losing is not difficult,' I don't even want to be around that person. And obviously, that person has never won anything relevant in their life.

As we get deeper, we move closer and closer to other people; we feel closer to life as a whole.

Not in government or force, not in slavery or war, but in the creative, and thereby spiritual, power of freedom, shall our inspiration be found.

That was a kiss for the record books.

Those that walk with fear will always be too busy hiding.

Everyone worships something. The only choice you get is what to worship.
