I think that usually I'm just drawn to something that's different from something that I've done previously. Whatever makes me feel something. Whatever makes me excited and connected to it.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.

I was listening to a lot of Norwegian black metal and death metal. There's a great history to Norwegian black metal. That music is very dark and violent, but it's also beautiful.

I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times.

I usually get my lyrics when I let my mind wander, when you're not really awake, but not yet fully asleep. I keep an open notebook by my bed and then just write whatever comes to me.

When YOU Say YOU Love Me, I Don't Hear With My Ears Or Read YOUR Lips As I Already Know That By Looking In YOUR Eyes....

If we could switch off the aging gene we would. There's no technology that we've had that we haven't used. We are in the capital of staying young forever.

In the 1970s, Washington women lawyers were getting organized. Grouping together gave us courage. And we overcame.

I still look at myself and want to improve.

Altruism is masked self-interest. Aggressive self-interest is a masked urge to self-destruction.

I just had to stay cool. Zen. No punching in the face. Punching would not be Zen.

Sometimes things in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities very clearly. Ultimately you can see those as gifts.
