Everyone gets dumped and everyone gets hurt and there's karma to love in regards to what you've done to other people.

I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.

I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.

Fake it, fake your confidence until it's real. I think it's a good way to live most of your life.

There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.

When you are with the wrong person, who doesn't really love you, all you want is to be adored. It makes you more inward and needy. Gross.

I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.

I quite like dark humor.

My biggest fear is love and getting hurt in love but still believing.

I feel like artists that are always quite sad in real life always make really happy music, and artists who are really bouncy and bubbly always make really sad music.

If you believe something enough, it comes true eventually, and that's so true even with lies. If you tell yourself a lie, after a few years you'll think it's true.

Solve this, pink-haired lady.

Tumblr was simply a tool for anyone to make a blog like mine.

The sensual world cannot be avoided. We're in it at every moment. We are part of it.

There are only two places in the world: over here and over there.

Because prison sentences in America tend to be long, de-incarceration lags falling crime rates by a fair amount, but eventually it does catch up.

As for developing a writing style'I would say that I tried to copy the pacing of the old movies I loved as a kid.

Silence is the Sabbath of the soul. Therein we rest, and therein we hear everything.

... my whole existence is governed by abstract ideas.... the ideal must be preserved regardless of fact.

Life only avails, not the having lived.

If I had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes.
