My dreams are of water. And my nightmares.

There is a fun, flippant side to me, of course. But I would much rather be known as the Ice Queen.

People forget the punk thing was really good for women. It motivated them to pick up a guitar rather than be a chanteuse. It allowed us to be aggressive.

I think a certain amount of anger has been a fuel of mine, if you want - but also some sort of sadness, and plain mischief, of course.

I hate the industry even more now, no bands get nurtured anymore. Labels only spend money promoting acts they know will be Top Ten. I find it offensive spending $2 million on a video.

I like a bit of eye candy like anyone but to have it solely about the eye candy and have it fall into a category so rigidly as well is wrong.

I love the ocean. I've always liked the blue, so tranquil and peaceful and gliding. And the fear of it.

I don't like a kind of workshop that is about editing--I don't want to sit there and be an editor. I don't want to tell someone how to "fix" a poem.

The people of the light, loves the light of knowledge.

We have convictions only if we have studied nothing thoroughly.

We are all more than the sum of our sins.

It is normal to enjoy praise and dislike criticism. True character is when you prevent either from affecting you in a negative matter.

I use my hands like a sculptor, to mold and shape the sound I want, to clarify.

I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.

Beyond a doubt, they perish eternally who do not keep the Catholic faith entire and unchanged.

I wouldn't hunt a person down for food. But if he were already dead.
