Everything that becomes true starts with a manifesto

Kurt had this dumb suicidal ideation - that's what I called it. I thought if we could live through this, we could live through anything.

I never expected I would be connected to the Alpha male as some kind of ancillary object and to this day it mystifies me.

Cocaine is like really evil coffee.

Only dumb people are happy.

I wish I was beautiful or at least wise, but I’m simply mad and violent.

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.

I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad's an angel.

I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.

The language of love letters is the same as suicide notes.

I want every girl in the world to pick up a guitar and start screaming.

One foundation of loving relationships is curiosity, keeping open to the idea that we have much to learn even about those we have been close to for decades.

This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well. Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right.

If I'd stayed on in London and carried on going to literary parties, it would have wrecked me as a writer.

An advantage could consist not only in a single important advantage but also in a multitude of insignificant advantages.

He that owes nothing, if he makes not mouthes at us, is courteous.

I thought being an adult meant knowing what you believe, but that has not been my experience.

If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail.

I grew up raised in church, my parents are both traveling ministers. They blocked out MTV which was fine, but I'd find myself figuring out who New Kids On The Block were.

When you say 'Black is beautiful' you are saying, 'Man you are okay as you are, begin to look upon yourself as a human being'.

Let us love, since our heart is made for nothing else.
