For some reason I did something where I realized I could get a reaction. That was when I broke out of my shell at school, because I really didn't have any friends or anything like that and I just kind of was going along, and then finally I did this zany thing, and all of a sudden I had tons of friends.

Everybody expects the fairy tale - you're going to be together forever with somebody. I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough. Ten years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It's a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

I cannot be contained because I am the container.

It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?

The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.

I can be your best friend or your worst enemy. You seem to prefer the latter.

I've never been one to sit back and go, 'I'd better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don't want to lose them.'
