I've basically made a career out of my imagination. I feel very lucky.

I tried being anorexic for four hours and then i was like, i need some bagels.

I think it's important for people to know that it's okay to feel like you're not better as long as you keep trying.

I don't take crap from anyone, so that makes people think I'm rebellious. I'm not. I'm just not a pushover.

There's nothing else I would rather do, unless there was a profession that involved cuddling bunny rabbits and kittens all day for money.

I am very outspoken, obviously, and I should say that I can't judge anyone for doing anything.

I like people's attitudes more than fashion or beauty or whatever it is.

There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.

I don't think I'm a weirdo in a bad way. There's just a lot going on in my head.

Any glamorous moment you might mistake me for having is always pretend.

I really am pretty boring. There's no reason to take pictures of me.

I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time.

Experience is bitter. But it fruits is sweet like honey.

Suffering for your art is most definitely overrated but I do get a certain, I don't know, satisfaction from being able to deal with my paranoia and insecurity.

My Sunday mornings are spent in a recovery meeting in Pacific Palisades.

Science has heroes, but no gods. The great Names are not our superiors, or even our rivals, they are passed milestones on our road; and the most important milestone is the hero yet to come.

They call me racist too just because I disagree with a President who happens to be black. You are not racists - you are patriots.

A true photographer is as rare as a true poet or a true painter.

A youth is capable of bringing things together and changing the direction too. They can come together and bring changes. There is no need of breaking anything, but need is to bring changes.

Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.

But our knowledge, the things we learn, can carry on in others after we are gone...The toil of this journey, our journey, is the map for those who will follow.
