I think it's important to keep an element of fear about yourself because it makes you appreciate the jobs.

I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.

I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it's on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I'm Australian, so I'm not too flashy or glitzy.

Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.

I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State.

Of asking nothing of the reader - but offering a still, quiet oasis in the cybersphere to go vertical with God. An island of stillness to know that He is God.

I think that the divorce rate's over 50% for a reason. I don't think people are taking enough time now to really see if they can make it work and live together.

The sailor cannot see the north / but knows the needle can.

The fundamental problem with banks is what it's always been: they're in the business of banking, and banking, whether plain vanilla or incredibly sophisticated, is inherently risky.

Who wants to privatize Medicare.

We must kill the street. We shall truly enter into modern town planning only after we have accepted this preliminary determination.

There were thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and the ruins, and you were the miracle.

I'm not afraid of a rant, am I? I've got to that point where I've just become a woman; I think I've just grown.
