My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.

In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

Experience is more important than knowledge.

The best investment to make an impact on others, because even when you're dead money alone will not bury you.

Don't give up on yourself. We all have the power to outshine and overcome our sorrows. Let this be the day you take a stand and believe you are indestructible.

Not now” easily grows to become “never”

Once you understand business models you can then start prototyping business models just like you prototype products.

I would like a boyfriend. I'm a very happy person and it is the final, final piece of the puzzle. I'm looking for that shout-it-out-from-the-mountaintops, fall-in-love person.

I still have your pocket watch, my dear father. Like me, it is broken, but stubborn, and still keeps going.

Hee is rich enough that wants nothing.

Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.
