You want to be influenced by the world because it has so many cool things about it, but it also has a bunch of bad things about it.

Occasionally there are people who are not like me, and I forget that they're more introverted or shy, or just don't want to make a decision so quickly.

I'll accept the pain and the suffering, because I know that in that there's a lot of beauty, too.

Sometimes you just have to say, “...I don't know what we are doing, let's just go and see what happens.” You have to embrace the experience itself, so that things you didn't intend to happen can make your work more authentic. And you have to hope that it works.

We wouldn't be artists, writers, painters, musicians, if we weren't sensitive.

Maybe there's some unquenchable question that I keep asking the universe that I can't get an answer to.

I know that is absolutely true for people when they are young - you don't want to be alive if the things that you love in your life aren't there.
