You don't really realize why you get attracted to certain people, and I do think scent has more to do with it than we realize.

Being sexy is something inside, and not everybody has it.

Every time I wake up I have this huge dreadlock in the back, and I don't know why. It's not like I sleep like a maniac or anything. It gets knots out really easy, and it's handy.

I think of dieting, then I eat pizza.

Going to rehab was the best decision I ever made.

I don't really like the whole pancake look.

If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny, I would be. I think of dieting, then I eat pizza. I'm a woman, and every woman wants to be skinnier — unfortunately.

I can have an androgynous quality.

What should all men know about women? That we are always right and you should just agree.

I find it quite hard for me to pull off. It's so nice to have a tan and look healthy and glowing. I'd quite like to look like Karen Elson - she looks good pale. I feel like I look a bit washed out.

How much time could you spend staring out the ocean, even if it was the ocean you'd loved since you were a boy?

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.

I'm a middle child, and I'm pretty diplomatic: the peace-maker.

I admire the poetic relationship to place as enacted in Wallace Stevens' poems; his poetics strikes me as an argument against the restraints of realism.

No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.

You wouldn’t be normal if you were never afraid. Even the bravest men experience fear. One of the biggest jobs we all face in combat is to overcome fear.

[...] even in the cruelest human being there can exist a flower of good. Maybe just the tiniest blossom, in need of water and sunlight, but a flower just the same.

Sometimes it is right to fear the dark.

I like to be buttoned onto tradition. The thing is to improve it, twist it and mold it; to make something new of it; not to deny it. The riches of history can be plucked at any point.

The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil...
