Instead of chopping yourself down to fit the world, chop the world down to fit yourself.

Let me be candid, my party is full of racists

Let's go to Valhalla with the sun on our faces.

All artists are constantly looking for something and they don't always know what.

And it is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelette in the pan for the love of God.
