I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.

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.

Happiness is not only how to make yourself happy! but it's also how to draw a smile on others face..

I think short-term goals are important. Trying to set a missive for yourself for the entire year can be daunting, and it can feel too easy to fail or fall short of that.

Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.

I'm uncomfortable trying to rush change of perception, except to the extent that I'm going to write a book.

A fool with a tool is still a fool.

Beautiful and diabolical. You make me impatient indeed to claim you.

You can't run the economy on BMWs alone. If the average person is in a pickle, how do you have a healthy economy?

Well, if they are trying to kill you, on the whole they're the people you have to kill, aren't they?

The years go by. The time, it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes. And it seems like nothing - but when you're looking back ... well, it amounts to everything.

We are taught to take the bread into our bodies as proof of Jesus's body.
