My God, I could raise a family of six children and hold down a full-time job with all the energy I expend on depression!

That is all I want in life: for this pain to seem purposeful.

I start to get the feeling that something is really wrong.

Everything's plastic, we're all going to die sooner or later, so what does it matter.

I admire Bruce Springsteen because he's a heroic person who has lots of integrity and has this incredible body of work that is so vital.

Depression is about as close as you get to somewhere between dead and alive, and it's the worst.

...occasionally I wished I could walk through a picture window and have the sharp, broken shards slash me to ribbons so I would finally look like I felt.

homesickness is just a state of mind for me. i'm always missing someone or someplace or something, i'm always trying to get back to some imaginary somewhere. my life has been one long longing.

Insanity is knowing that what you're doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can't stop it.

The voices in my head, which I used to think were just passing through, seem to have taken up residence.

In life, single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies, they are given imaginary power.

Love may be blind, but lust is just damn stupid.

It's a simple formula do your best and somebody might like it.

I'm just very amused by five-year-old humor.

Of what use were wings to a man fast bound in chains of iron?

Torch every book. Burn every page. Char every word to ash. Ideas are incombustible. And therein lies your real fear.

He can hardly be a true friend to another, who is an enemy to himself.

The fans have made my dreams come true. For that, I'm super grateful.

I did the rock 'n roll-pop cliche of getting burnt out. I'm not the first person that happened to, and I'm sure I won't be the last.

When the scale of sensuality bears down that of reason, the baseness of our nature conducts us to most preposterous conclusions.

The trouble with me is that I like to talk too much.
