So who do I want to be tomorrow?

I want to drag knives over my skin, just to feel something other than shame, but I'm not even brave enough for that

To have my hopes raised and dashed again, it's like cold steel twisting in my gut.

I wake abruptly, my breath jagged and heart racing, my mouth stale, and I know immediately that's it. I'm awake. The more I want to be oblivious, the less I can be. Life and light will not let me be.

I'm well aware that there is no job more important than that of raising a child, but the problem is that it isn't valued.

I want to drag knives over my skin, just so that I can feel something other than shame, but I'm not even brave enough to do that.

Life and light will not let me be.

I have lost control over everything, even the places in my head.

He who loves you deeply owns you without your knowledge.

People are prettiest when they smile with joy.

We have a duty to care for the environment.

Let's hope I never end up on a deserted island, because I could never make a decision on which three CDs to take with me.

I think it's important to be with a guy who has a strong sense of integrity. That's how I was raised, and that's something I look for.

There is a craft and a power in listening.

You know, dark matter matters.

When has stand-up comedy been kind to anyone? It goes after anyone who's the target. Comedy attacks, man.

Teams are successful when they are focused, have a short cycle time, and are supported by the executives.

We are the greatest power in the world. If we behave like it.
