On an emotional level, I don't want to be a guide. I want people to hear things and experience them their own way.

Health is so important now, it's ridiculous - the body has become frightening, this thing that will kill you if you don't keep really healthy. The body is the enemy now.

I'm not trying to be a solution or create a freer, utopian world. I think my music dreams of it, though.

I'm constantly reading and trying to enlighten myself to how the world works in its silent ways to make everything seem normal when it's actually incredibly discriminating.

I'm obsessed with voices in film. I have this memory of how people say words, even on the most intensely stupid reality TV show.

I'm inspired by that rawness in very direct communication. My work is not meant to keep people happy or give them an escape.

I've always seen myself as the person listening to alternative music and all that - generic indie person. I always tried to be the least pretty I could be.

A philanderer cannot be a parent - a parent cannot be a philanderer.

This will be triumph! This will be happiness! Yea that very thing happiness which I have been pursuing all my life and have never yet overtaken.

I just take jobs that will have me. I'm an actress that works. I'm not an actress who's ever waited.

The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days waiting for better ones ahead.

Beloved is man, for he was created in the image of God. Beloved are Israel, for they were called children of God. Beloved are Israel, for unto them was given the desirable Torah

A beautiful woman must expect to be more accountable for her steps, than one less attractive.

The venture community is largely male.

A small town has as many eyes as a fly

I want to do drawings which touch some people... In either figure or landscape I wish to express, not sentimental melancholy, but serious sorrow.
