Beauty is not defined by the size of your jeans.

I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things, but you're old enough, too.

There is no definition of beauty, but when you can see someone's spirit coming through, something unexplainable, that's beautiful to me.

Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.

I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him.

Beauty comes from the happiness within.

I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

Solitude has its own very strange beauty to it.

I've sung my whole life. I've taken lots of voice lessons and I love to sing. But I've never really sung professionally at all.

Hopefully, I can continue to do anything I want. I just want to do things that I'm passionate about in this life.

If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that's exactly what I did.

Tyranny will make an entire population into readers of poetry.

... nothing is so boring as devotion.

In fact, I bought our first family television with my own money, putting it on credit and then paying it off every week.

We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.

The fiction I tend to like is nothing like my own work. I like the kind of writing that shows me things I don't know about, and what I don't know about is the everyday, normal world.

Which, then, brings us closer to what we want to communicate: saying what we intend, or trying to say the opposite?

I mean, who wants to live waking up... at least I don't want to live waking up everyday about revenge.

Of course I've already taken a very modest position on the monetary system, I do take the position that we should just end the Fed.

This age will die not as a result of some evil, but from a lack of passion.
