It's very hard to tour.

I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol.

Because I'm quiet, people think I'm really cold, or rude, or snobby. But I'm literally scared to talk to them.

Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

I've always liked extreme performers; I don't think I am one, but my mentality is in line with that.

No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer.... Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

She knows what is the best purpose of education: not to be frightened by the best but to treat it as part of daily life.

In ballet, I felt that no matter how good I was, if I didn't have the right body type or if I didn't fit a certain mold there was nothing I could do.

Being a Christian means having love. That is unbelievably difficult and, at the same time, incredibly simple.

When you’re engaged in what you love to do, it’s like driving in the fast lane. Time flies by and more roads open up to you, alternate routes you may not have even known existed.
