You wouldn't want any creative process to lose its sense of fun and adventure, but that doesn't mean you can't take it seriously as well.

Witchery is merely a word for what we are all capable of.

It's all a matter of paying attention, being awake in the present moment, and not expecting a huge payoff. The magic in this world seems to work in whispers and small kindnesses.

It's all those stories and how they braid together that tells us who and what and where we are

You've got to find yourself first. Everything else'll follow.

Stone walls confine a tinker; cold iron binds a witch; but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.

Fortune-telling doesn't reveal the future; it mirrors the present. It resonates against what your subconscious already knows and hauls it up out of the darkness so you can get a good look at it.

I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.

Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.

Magic lies in between things, between the day and the night, between yellow and blue, between any two things.

Life is a sewer and we are all but swimmers within it. Smart people do the backstroke. (In other words you gotta have a giggle.)

Choosing to love, in spite of all its complexities, is the only freedom there is.

I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.

If you put your mind to something, if you give 100 percent, if you sacrifice, and if you dedicate yourself, anything is truly possible.

When I lose my temper, honey, you can't find it any place.

You know, they say I'm close to Russia. Hillary Clinton gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States. She's close to Russia.

If you want to do something then be the best.

I try to tell the kids, Im not trying to run away from where I came from.

If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be putting it in your body or in your environment.

I choose the likely man in preference to the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.
