I stupidly memorize my credit card and use it about thrice weekly for online shopping. The only reason I don't bankrupt myself is that I return about 75% of what I buy.

I'm not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.

I want a schedule-keeping, waking-up-early, wallet-carrying, picture-hanging man. I don't care if he takes prescription drugs for cholesterol or hair loss.

There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

I have a thick skin, which comes from being a not-really-skinny, dark-skinned Indian woman. I haven’t fit in every place, and so I’m kind of used to resistance.

A thoughtform is rather like electricity … it must first be created and then discharged in order to exist.

We need old friends to help us grow old and new friends to help us stay young.

See, Josh, that's what you do when someone slaps you in the face. So the next time it happens to you, try to retaliate.

Unemployment is due to the large import of goods from Britain and other countries. The Government haven't used the powers which they have for the benefit of the country.

The life that I live and the experiences that I have always affect what comes out of me creatively. I think that's what makes music real.

Neither the Destruction of the Ninth Ward Nor the South Bronx Was Inevitable

I am the daughter of Earth and Water, And the nursling of the Sky; I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; I change, but I cannot die.

At the touch of love, everyone is a poet.

Every breath is a giveaway dance between you and the plants.
