I have olive skin, so if I'm in the sun for even 15 minutes, I turn brown.

I love everything, but I really love rock music. Incubus, Augustana, Nirvana, Chevelle, iHi-Hi-Fi, they're my really good friends.

I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.

I always take a cold shower to wake me up and close my pores. Then I moisturize my face.

There are times when you want your privacy, when you don't want the cameras in your face capturing your every move, every tear, every look. But I've gotten used to it.

I try to get to the beach every day. It brings sanity to my life. I'll just sit and read a book and enjoy the quiet.

I knew how to swim by the time I turned 4.

I definitely feel much more comfortable in front of the cameras after 'The Hills.' Before, it was much more nerve-racking.

Everyone in the music industry is so fun and laid-back.

A lot of the guys that I date and my friends are all in bands.

I mean, whatever’s supposed to happen is gonna happen.

The eyes of his friend were moist and dark, and in them he saw the little rectangled pictures of himself that he had watched a thousand times.

If somebody tells you a rule, break it. That's the only thing to move things forward.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

If this is your idea of glamour, I'm having second thoughts about letting you make me over.

You can't get to a pleasant place to be at unless you use pleasant methods to get there. When you are dealing with a human society the means is fully as important as the end.

Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil - not the strength to choose between the two.

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

Wisdom comes with all we see, God writes His lessons in each flower, And ev'ry singing bird or bee Can teach us something of His power.

Work is against human nature. The proof is that it makes us tired.

The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.
