These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.

I don't want to be your other half. I believe that one and one make two.

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.

I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.

Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn't explain.

At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.
