I was always the funny-looking girl. I couldn't compete with the Brazilian girls. My nose is off, my ears are too big. But I think it's my personality that these designers were drawn to.

I listen to a variety of music. The only common point is strong lyrics; I'm more obsessed with lyrics than music. I need to hear a form of truth, and if it's a hard truth, even better.

In England you laugh at yourselves, in France we laugh at others.

The whole point of art school is that you're going to be able to have nudes all day long and a teacher who is there to move you. It's great.

I think I was pretty much hated in France. The French press ignored me. There was a movement when the children of celebrities faced strong animosity.

I'm a very compulsive person, so I spend most of my time drawing or writing my diary, patching things up and carving bits of wood - I've carved two of my guitars.

I love acting; I love movie sets and movies, but, at the same time, there's something about the position of women in that world that frightens me a lot. I find it nearly inhuman to be an actress.

I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that.

I kept reaching for my muses, my wandering muses, floatingon clouds filled with their passions.”(Muses of Wandering Passions, p. 64)

Laddie, that man scored 200 goals in 270 matches - an incredible record - and he has won cup after cup as a manager. When he talks, pin back your ears.

Rich enough that I don't have to tell em I'm rich

In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.

I don't believe in America, but I believe in people.

Even a good decision if made for the wrong reasons can be a wrong decision.

I don't feel bound by the ebbs and flows of musical trends, or what's happening with new music in general.

...the greatest political problem facing the world today is...how to curb the oppressive power of government, how to keep it within reasonable bounds.

What we think of as reality is a continuous synthesis of elements from a fixed hierarchy of a priori concepts and the ever changing data of the senses.

Sermons seldom convert sinners; they sometimes goad them into more sin.
