When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.

I don't care about being famous or having a lot of people go, "She's really good."

As an artist I'd choose the thing that's beautiful more than the one that's true.

People are really suffering these days. There's a lot of corporate triumph and a lot of personal despair as they wonder what are they working for.

I didn't really understand that Vipassana is a relatively new form of Buddhism that was based on the storage of pain. So the idea is that every time you don't scream, that's your Buddhist side.

They say that Heaven is like TV... a perfect little world, that doesn't really need you.

I've never really had a hobby, unless you count art, which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn't made money with it.
