What I get in rock 'n' roll that I don't get in movies is that connection with people. With music it's instantaneous, and just to watch people light up, it's really amazing. I love that connection.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

Like everybody I have many different sides.

Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

You do not need any more strength. You need only to realize how strong you already are.

Forgiving yourself means that you give up on your hope that the past will be different.

Why don't I just give you a pair of my panties to hang around your neck? Then whenever you feel jealous, you can wave them at whoever's pissing you off.

The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.

In the misfortunes of our best friends we always find something not altogether displeasing to us.

Put not your Knife to your mouth unless it be to eat an Egge.

You can reach stupidity only with a cannon ball.

When the war started, religion and superstition (whatever the difference is) permeated the lives of ordinary soldiers, who lived in a thought world not too far removed from the seventeenth century.

A laugh is the loud echo of a sigh; a sigh the faint echo of a laugh.

I had someone very close to me say to me that hopefully I’ll have many more ups and downs, not in just my career but in life. If you don’t have that, you’re not taking enough risks.
