Never trust a hippie. That's definitely my motto.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.

In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

I dreaded an invasion of ghosts or, less likely, an invasion of the police.

Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make.

Events do not really have beginnings or ends. Behind every event is the previous one, causing, or helping to cause, what follows.

Normal! He thought. Normal! I don't want things to be normal. Normal is always being left out, never belonging.

A lot of girls walk this earth telling people they've slept with me. And a lot of them did. But I don't remember 95 percent of them.

My willingness to be intimate with my own deep feelings creates the space for intimacy with another.

As ye of clay were cast by kind, So shall ye waste to dust.

Modern politics today requires a mastery of television. I've never really warmed up to television and, in fairness to television, it's never warmed up to me.
