I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.

In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

Quit pretending to be humble when you are really just a self-abusing, emotional, drama junkie.

An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.

You may make love in dancing as well as sitting.

I was brought up in a very small town in upstate New York.

Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values. God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.

I love really, really deep, dark-as-Russia storylines. I love supernatural aspects. I grew up with ghost stories.

An anarchist does not want to rule others and does not want others to rule him. Nothing is so despicable as half-an-anarchist.

A spiritual person is vast, like an ocean - but very mighty, very powerful.

I grew up in a military family, and there's something about that military-style uniform, all cleaned up, a brutal control effort the military necessarily breeds.

Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.
