I want to create a management company for people like me so that they don't have to give up the way they present [themselves], they just have someone to help them keep their business afloat.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I'm more than a songwriter. I'm a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won't allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There's a reason to see me.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

Chase away sorrow by living

History does seem to be just one long succession of murders, doesn't it?

I am fairly rich. Money's very handy, let's face it.

Water colours are wet colours in water.

Challenge is what makes men. It will be the end when men stop looking for new challenges.

No totalitarian authority nor authoritarian state can tolerate those who have an absolute by which to judge that state and its actions. The Christians had that absolute in God's revelation.

There's something about the fashion world that I like, which is, I see a lot of the designers really have affection for other designers.

The lesson from behavioral economics is that people only save if it's automatic.

I have come to believe there is nothing in the lives of human beings more terrifying than war and nothing more important than for those of us who have experienced it to share its awful truth.

I would like to look back on my body of work and be proud of each record in its own right, but as a whole, I want to continue to grow and move forward.
