I'm still finding my way, and I made a lot of mistakes.

I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.

I'm more of a tomboy than anything and then you see your name on these Top 50 Most Beautiful People lists and you're like, 'What?'

I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane.

Clearly, if a building is not functionally and technically in order, then it isn't architecture either, it's just a building.

Baseball was socially relevant, and so was my rebellion against it.

Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war; not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense, virtu , virtue free of moral acid).

I’d rather somebody hate what I do than be indifferent to it.

I have the coolest parents.

The beginning of love is all about the butterflies, but the end of it is when you can't get out of bed in the morning.
