I believe in the country America used to be.

Be like snow - cold, but beautiful.

Be Young, Be Dope, Be Proud.

I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.

What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.

No matter how many people give me advice, I am going to do what my heart tells me to do

Being brave means knowing that when you fail, you don't fail forever.

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I've got nothing but my aching soul?

Sometimes I wish I was a beautiful machine so I could resist your kiss and not cry when you're mean.

In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

Laughter has got to be the single healthiest activity one can perform. Just think how healthy you would be if you could sincerely laugh at that which now oppresses you.

I'm trying to climb up both walls at once.

People see my face, they hear my voice, and I know they're thinking about my father. That's OK - he was a great man.

Flexibility is the key to stability.

Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach.

Evolution isn't just a take-it-or-leave-it story about where we came from. It's an epic at the centre of life itself. It tells us we are part of nature in every respect.

I'm good friends with Jay Leno, good friends with Ed O'Neill, Melanie Fiona and Russell Simmons.

The most important thing... was to change their spirit; and since at that time I felt that literature was the best means to this end, I decided to promote literary movement.

Now defined as art, the totem has lost cult, taboo, and custom.

The days blur into one, and the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done.
