I am a writer - that is what I am before being a performer or musician. I love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.

There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart.

It doesn't matter the genre or type of art, if it's authentic there's an apparent beauty to it and as an artist, that's very inspiring.

I'm creating music - it doesn't matter if anyone else likes it.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.

When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything.

He was in my hair, my eyes, my fingers, my heart. I day-dreamed about what he was doing, thinking, seeing, smelling, feeling. I could not eat for thoughts of him.

If I am not for myself who is for me? And if I am only for myself what am I? And if not now when?

When you've nothing to live for, you get to thinking inside your head.

Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of ... permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power.

There are too many governing bodies. They're all corrupt. I think they have replaced the old Mobsters with the kind of 'corporate rule' of boxing.

Great enterprises usually promise vastly more than they perform.

There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort.

Personally, I don't really have a set style or look. It's pretty much what I feel like wearing that day, from a floral-print dress and high heels to ripped jeans and army boots.

She likes herself, yet others hates, For that which in herself she prizes; And while she laughs at them, forgets She is the thing that she despises.
