Morality in the novel is the trembling instability of the balance. When the novelist puts his thumb in the scale, to pull down the balance to his own predilection, that is immorality.

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.

This is my genre...the happiness, tragedies, and the sorrows of mankind as realized in the teeming black ghetto.

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

If you're too open-minded; your brains will fall out.

We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.

My popularity, my happiness and sense of worth depend to no small extent upon my skill in dealing with people.

I never thought about being an actor. I was just going to play music and baseball. That’s all I was going to do. To this day, that’s what I do. I just added movies to it.

There is a strong possibility I will release another volume of ARTPOP and I'm really hoping that it's soon.

I skate to anything with a good beat, anything that can get me motivated.

Interest is the invention of Satan.
