I was always the weirdo at school. When I became a model [at 16], I didn't tell anybody. I was terrified that the kids would rip me to pieces.

I very much adore people who are outcasts, and I've always loved to be around interesting, circus-type people.

I just love vintage. I have far too many vintage dresses.

At school I got harassed so badly for being too tall, too thin, too pale - too everything that has gotten me where I am now, which is quite ironic.

Obviously there are going to be a lot of skeptics. I only hope I can prove them wrong and give the idea of model-slash-anything a genuine chance.

I've not met one person, even if they are not creative, who isn't dysfunctional. I guess artists are just a bit more aware of their dysfunction because it serves a purpose.

I'm surrounded by freaks. Am I weirder than the rest of them? Ultimately I've learned to pride myself on being quirky.

I like feeling a bit of an outcast where I am. I've always been that way. Somehow, I fit in by not fitting in.

There comes a point where certain things are becoming my Achilles heel; you know when you start repeating yourself and saying the same anecdotes over and over again you start slowly hating yourself.

We all know people who are ridiculously famous, and it's a scary thing because all of the sudden people - even the people you are close to - stop being honest with you, stop telling you the truth.

I really don't like conference calls to be honest. It's always something that bloody happens with a conference call - universally never works out.

What has defined our faith since the beginning is open-ended gladness.

Though the captives' resistance was dangerous, through such acts, dignity was preserved, and through dignity, life itself.

When the present feels as endless as an impossibly long hallway between airport terminals, white and sterile and numb, we're particularly receptive to signs.

Very few men properly speaking live at present but are providing to live another time.

How can I know what I think till I see what I say?

I hardly ever remember my dreams.

Put your name on something, it better be the best... you only get one shot.

It's only when they join together in a forward movement that this country moves ahead.

Great leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness, but rather by the presence of clear strengths.

It's cool that you hear something, but what did you feel and what was your tactile and kinesthetic response to it? Those songs and creative sessions mean the most.
