From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

I believe the human mind is a very fallible thing, but it's the only thing that I can really know, I guess.

I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.

Whenever I'm making music I'm always waiting for the shivers to happen - that's an important thing for me.

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.

Removing all stimulation around you is a really positive thing in terms of stimulating your creativity.

Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.

I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.

If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.

Basically, I'm really impressionable and have no sense of consistency in anything I do.

I can't censor myself; it's really important for me to say how I feel.

Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.

I like creating beauty out of scary things.

Whenever we say a person's name, notice whether we have stated more than a fact. For example, the judgment, 'She's thoughtless' goes beyond the facts 'She said she'd call me and she didn't.

To some degree we all find life difficult, perplexing, and oppressive. Even when it goes well, as it may for a time, we worry that it probably won't keep on that way.

None of us would choose to be Sisyphus; yet in a sense, we all are.

Trust in things being as they are is the secret of life. But we don't want to hear that. I can absolutely trust that in the next year my life is going to be changed, different, yet always just the way it is.
