I'm not a drug user myself. I'm too little to take drugs - my body can't take it.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.

You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.

There ain't no money in poetry, that's what keeps the poet free. I've had all the freedom I can stand.

Walking the streets with camera in hand is akin to being on a treasure hunt as a child.

Captain Cuttle, like all mankind, little knew how much hope had survived within him under discouragement, until he felt its death-shock.

I can never watch anything I've been involved in, because I know it, and I know what the making of it was like, and I know what's been cut out and changed. I just know it.

Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at you. It's not being unkind to you.

I feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.

And the Earth had no name. The gods know themselves and have no need of names. It is man who names all things, even gods.

It wasn't Luther or Calvin that reformed the church. It was the Word of God that reformed the church.

The demand for absolute purity of genres is becoming nowadays an anachronism in literature.
