I've been watching a lot of Joni Mitchell YouTube clips and I can't believe her transformation from this folk singer in Canada.

Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.

If you're in the public eye and you have young girls who look up to what you do, they're going to look to you for certain cues, so you have to take that as a responsibility, whether you think you deserve it or not.

After staring at origami directions long enough, you sort of become one with them and start understanding them from the inside.
