I didn't belong when I was in high school. Now people are trying to buy lips.

I think there are always different times in your life when you go, "Oh, god. I wish I were traditionally pretty. My life would be so much easier." But then you get through that, and you go, "Well, I'm not."

People want to be famous, they want to be loved, they want to be accepted. They want to push aside their past and the things that have been embarrassing to them.

Of course, everybody's family is dysfunctional - we've accepted that. What are we supposed to do? Hate our parents for the rest of our lives?

When you have a knowledge of history, it's very soothing. When there's continuity in your life, it's soothing.

When you're collaborating with somebody who's got a lot of stuff they haven't worked out yet, you're working out their vision as well.

How far can we go? How much can we absorb and still have some peace of mind?
