Silence the artist and you have silenced the most articulate voice the people have.

To live creatively free, do what you know how to do now, then 'act as if' you know how to do the rest.

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Let's just say that where a change was required, I adjusted. In every relationship that exists, people have to seek a way to survive. If you really care about the person, you do what's necessary, or that's the end. For the first time, I found that I really could change, and the qualities I most admired in myself I gave up. I stopped being loud and bossy... Oh, all right. I was still loud and bossy, but only behind his back.

I was fearless...and lawless.

It's not what you start in life, it's what you finish.

I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
