Greatness breaks laws.

I only know this - that you can’t give advice to an artist.

It is as hard to take success as it is failure.

I've been so lonely for long periods of my life that if a rat walked in I would have welcomed it.

What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.

And I saw darkness for weeks. It never dawned on me that I could come out of it, but you heal. Nature heals you, and you do come out of it. All of a sudden I saw a crack of light ... then all of a sudden I saw another crack of light. Then I saw forms in the light. And I recognized that there was no darkness, that in darkness there'll always be light.
