You’re so consumed with how much you get, you waste your time with hate and regret.
You bring me to my knees, while I’m scratching out the eyes of a world I want to conquer, and deliver, and despise. And right while I am kneeling there, I suddenly begin to care. And understand that there could be a person that loves me.
Filmmaking is such a collaboration. At a certain point, I suppose you do have to let go and trust the people you’re working with.
Hurt that’s not supposed to show, and tears that fall when no one knows.
When my world seems to crumble all around, and foolish people try to bring me down, I just think of your smile face, and I’m flying.
I miss New York. I still love how people talk to you on the street – just assault you and tell you what they think of your jacket.
I can’t stand when I walk into a room and everyone’s not talking to each other and just on their phones.
You’re frozen when your heart’s not open.
I don’t care anymore if people dress like me, now I want them to think like me.
Strong women leave big hickies.
In England especially, I’ve found that if you bring up King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson at a dinner party or a social gathering, it’s like throwing a Molotov cocktail into the room.
On any given night, catch me on the floor, working up a sweat, that’s what music’s for.
Thanks for all the birthday love! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world today!
Don’t go for second best. Put your love to the test.
Nos are just as valuable as yeses in the game of life. In fact, they’re essential.
You have to reinvent to stay fresh, to stay in the game.
I became very obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive, so one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life. That would be a motivating force.
If you’re sure of who you are it doesn’t really matter what people call you, does it?
When I discovered that I could write music, it felt like the most natural way for me to connect with people and tell my stories. I’ve always thought of that as what I do: I tell stories.
I’m encouraging other people, whether they’re professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.
