It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow; my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

The money's the same, whether you earn it or scam it.

You should always take the best from the past, leave the worst back there and go forward into the future.

You can shuffle my deck any day!

Life is only available in the present moment.

Everybody is telling me Donald Trump is going to destroy the stock market if he's elected.
