I think it's better that life is kind of like a mystery, I think that's what drives us.

In California, I do like to just chill out and go to the beach, but I love the energy here. I feel very productive when I'm in New York.

When it comes to fashion, I love skinny jeans, a simple top, and a great handbag.

I'm very much a girl that likes to have options. That's the way I am with fashion, and that's the way I am with my life.

I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.

When girls come up and say, "You're my role model," it's really flattering, but it's also really scary because I'm not perfect and I'm going to make mistakes.

I'm a bit of a workaholic. When I feel like I'm not doing something, it drives me insane.

I live a dual life. On the red carpet, it's complete glam. But at home, I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. Simple can be beautiful.

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

Don't throw petals on the floor if they have no meaning. I would rather have a fun, casual relationship than have someone pretending they're completely in love with me.

You know, my brother won't walk out of a restaurant with me anymore because he doesn't want to be linked to me as my new 'mystery man.' Same with my close guy friends.

Sometimes, the only realists are the dreamers.

Nightside, cities glistened in chains, and a spray of tinkertoy habitats girdled the planet. Gossamer starbridges reached from the equator towards orbit.

I don't think I would have been a writer if I hadn't been a mother. I wanted to construct something that contained some of these feelings that I had, some of these discoveries or revelations.

It is possible to take energy from someone else. This is usually done in close, emotional sexual relationships.

I'm on the front line and I am a rapper.

The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience.

I like playing for the purple and gold. This is where I want to finish up.

I don't need a $100 million mistake. Try to make a $5 million mistake if you have to make one.

Political stuff is all about his [Hunter S. Thompson] reaction to a situation. And my stuff is much more externally driven.

When remedies are past, the griefs are ended By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
