Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.

The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.

My gosh, if you’re going away, we got a million things to talk about! All the things we would’ve talked about next month, the month after! Praying mantises, zeppelins, acrobats, sword swallowers!

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.

I’m ALIVE. Thinking about it, noticing it, is new. You do things and don’t watch. Then all of a sudden you look and see what you’re doing and it’s the first time, really.

A conglomerate heap of trash, that's what I am. But it burns with a high flame.
