Closeness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It's really, like, physically painful, and it's a brand of crazy I don't appreciate having.

When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.

Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.

I find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it's such a common, constant thing in people's lives - a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it's just accepted.

It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

There's people who think what they need and what they deserve in their lives is a lot worse than what they actually do, so they get themselves involved in things that are needlessly painful: brutal relationships, abusive relationships.

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.
