Beatles was 20th-century folksong in the framework of capitalism; they couldn't do anything different if they wanted to communicate within that framework.

The thing is, even after the revolution, if people don't have any trust in themselves, they'll get new problems.

My beauty secret is... nothing! I don't drink too much water. I don't eat very well. Sometimes I cheat and grab some chocolate. The best thing is to eat what you want, but not very much.

I'm a very obsessive type. If I do get into it, I'll soon be there 12 hours a day. I just don't want to do that.

Everything has complexity. Everything has simplicity. You just grab it.

Some people get medals and awards and all that, and maybe not intentionally - maybe the world is making them do it - but they sort of just follow what they were doing. Repeat or follow what they were doing all their lives, in their style of music or whatever. In my case, I always try to start from scratch. It's very nerve-wracking actually, but it's interesting.

If someone is unpleasant to you, draw a halo around his or her head in your mind. He/she is an angel who came to teach you something.
