I don't have an image of myself, when I'm walking down the street, like I'm a rock star or something. I'm a human being, I'm a friend, I'm a mom, I'm a writer, and I'm an artist. I do play electric guitar and all of that but in the end I'm just a person. I really don't live like a rock star, economically or socially. I still live a pretty simple life beside the traveling aspect of it.

All I've ever wanted, since I was a child, was to do something wonderful.

To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are. It's freedom.

Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of.

I learned from him that often contradiction is the clearest way to truth

Life isn't some vertical or horizontal line -- you have your own interior world, and it's not neat.

I want to keep my life as unfettered as possible. So maybe I'll just pretend to get rare books from my catalogue, and not really get them.
