I have never gauged myself against anyone else..

The coolest thing you can become is yourself..

Living is more a question of what one spends than what one makes..

Eroticism cannot be entirely revealed without poetry..

I don't like to be afraid. I'm afraid every day, all the time..

The public is never wrong..

French are what they are without excusing themselves to be..

Women don't have an expiration date..

I read to be alone. I read so as not to be alone..

Learning is the making of meaning..

I didn't go in to make friends or not make friends..

I don't live to eat, I eat to live..

I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone..

There's not much that doesn't get me stoked..

No. One. Comes. Before You..

Most pornographic images are simply too repulsive..

You can choose not to be interested in politics, but you can’t choose to be unaffected by it.

The saner you are, the crazier you are..

When you observe rather than react, you reclaim your power..

Before you attempt to set things right, make sure you see things right..

I'd love to work with Sufjan Stevens. He so gets it. He's amazing..
