That's the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn't have those things we'd just be numb.

A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow.

And in fact, I think the more we start to worship perfection the more soul leaks out of art.

Chocolate's okay, but I prefer a really intense fruit taste. You know when a peach is absolutely perfect... it's sublime. I'd like to capture that and then use it in a dessert.

You have to listen to what resonates within your own gut. You find your direction there. Your voice comes out.

You have to write badly to write at all. If it's crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself.

If you say that you're all about a certain something, and look back and see that the choices that you've made don't reflect that, then there's something for you to look at.

You've got to dance like nobody's watching, and love like it's never going to hurt.

Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst.

I want to savor the aging process. As you get older, you trade your innocence for wisdom and the wisdom is your reward.

I can't even say I've begun yet, but I'm trying on the idea that there is a book in my future.

Funny thing about the monster.The worse he treats you, the more you love him.

Is she perverted like me? Would she go down on you in a theatre?

The hatred of truth is the taproot of violence.

I could never toe the party line. I'd wear out the carpet crossing the floor.

Great performers welcome pressure.

Everything that reminds me of her goes through me like a spear.

You are the one and only ever you.

We go into the red next year... I shall have to give up polo.

I'd rather fight Arona cause I don't know him and he's in the ******* video game and I'm not.
