Everyday begins like a blank chalkboard, on which each one of us can write the poem of our present and our dreams for the future.

I didn't go around the world, I went around the world on a private jet. I didn't have a hotel room, we had an entire floor. We were spoiled.

During my sabbatical, I spent two years not listening to my songs at all.

What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment.

If you believe in equality, you're a feminist. Sorry to tell you.

My philosophy of life is that the meek shall inherit nothing but debasement, frustration, and ignoble deaths.

Children, being small and weak, have little market value.

I tried to be someone else, but nothing seemed to change. I know now, this is who I really am inside. I've finally found myself, fighting for a chance. I know now, this is who I really am.

For truth and the spirit will abide with the morrow.

Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
