I love stretching myself musically.

I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.

Just to prove i was right that it's harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn't try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you're still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you.

It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up? Finding someone else you can't get enough of. Someone who wants to be with you, too.

I don't know what the future holds. Anything is possible.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

I am a feminist, and I define myself: Be yourself, because if you can get away with it, that is the ultimate feminist act.

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.

My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to express them──by which means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents.

Love has no meaning without understanding

The only truly dead are those who have been forgotten.

It requires a great deal of faith for a man to be cured by his own placebos.

God always gave us light in our doubts, when we had no other design but to please Him.

Without foundation, there can be no fashion.

An idea isn't worth that much. It's the execution of the idea that has value. If you can't convince one other person that this is something to devote your life to, then it's not worth it.

It's in my stars to invent; I was born on Madame Curie's birthday. I have this need for originals, for innovation. That's why I like Charlie Parker.

When you start hiding things away, that’s when the darkness creeps up. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

None but himself can be his parallel.
