I was young not too long ago, and I know the last thing you want is someone preaching to you.

The most important thing you wear is your personality.

I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.

To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.

As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.

It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].

There is hardship in everything except eating pancakes.

I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it... It is unrequited self-love.

Schiller moves upward. Goethe comes from up above.

Well, I don't believe there are subjects that can't be painted, but there are a lot of things that I personally can't paint.

The worshiper is the father of the gods.

When I want to play music, you've got to get me on tape or else it goes.
