I believe myself to be an artist. That was my calling, to do my work, and what's most important to me is to do the best work I possibly can. And that is what means the most, that is what will endure.

My sunglasses are like my guitar.

We go through life. We shed our skins. We become ourselves.

To be an artist — actually, to be a human being in these times — it’s all difficult. … What matters is to know what you want and pursue it.

Never let go of that fiery sadness called desire.

Where does it all lead? What will become of us? These were our young questions, and young answers were revealed. It leads to each other. We become ourselves.

Life isn't some vertical or horizontal line -- you have your own interior world, and it's not neat.

I imagined myself as Frida to Diego, both muse and maker. I dreamed of meeting an artist to love and support and work with side by side.

Swift is the arrow, dark is the thorn, the slate is clean, the future awaits, awake.

Make your interactions with people transformational, not just transactional.

To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are. It's freedom.

Love is the only mirror we must use to judge ourselves and others.

It is a long-cherished tradition among a certain type of military thinker that huge casualties are the main thing. If they are on the other side then this is a valuable bonus.

World is not like what you see

Lord! I wonder what fool it was that first invented kissing.

You always got to be happy when somebody likes what you do. It's stupid not to be happy.

Things you create with your mind are always part of your postmortal life, whether they seem real or not.

The environment as we perceive it is our invention.

Death isn't sad. There's nothing sad about it. Living a shitty life, that's sad.

Camera but no selfies, which represent selfishness and egotism. Social media? Again: not really me.

I refuse putting from me the best that I am.
