I am subject to very powerful lows. When you have highs, you have terrible lows. When you pinpoint that you are responsible for everything that happens to you, it is very frightening.

If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you're giving to the world, you're on a dangerous path.

Why should we stop living because some people try to kill what is left of energy in ourselves?

Every night I go over what I did in the day, in ethical or moral terms. Have I treated people properly? Did I tell the truth?

I have always had the urge to open forbidden doors: with a curiosity and an obstinacy that verge on masochism.

To give the best of yourself, to be ready to please is OK for a while. But people expect certain things from you, and you have to go beyond that and say, no.

Some gods may cross your path, but why should gods be beautiful? They could also be frightening.
