At least I had that, one guy understood me.
You change the world by being yourself.
Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.
What the Beatles did was something incredible, it was more than what a band could do. We have to give them respect.
Tell the Earth how much you care, how beautiful she is, and how much you love her. Ask for her forgiveness for having been so careless.
Faces can lie. Backsides can’t.
Energy is so important. If you don’t have it, don’t bother with rock and roll.
I think I’m an observer in a way. And my life was not so – well, my life was bad too – but it’s just that I had the sense to cope with it. But it’s probably not that easy to cope if you’re in a society where you get killed when your husband dies.
I never wanted to be a professional artist; I think that’s limiting.
I never thought, “I’m going to be an artist”. When I actually began to become successful in the art world I made it a point to say, ‘I am a dilettante, I am not a professional artist”, which is true.

There’s nothing bad about feminism. We have to help each other, because there’s a lot of women in the world who are suffering because the fact is we’re not equal. It’s as plain as that. It’s still a men’s world. I don’t know. We’ll go on with it.
Our thoughts determine our age.
I am the type of person who would do something thoroughly if someone said, “I don’t think you can do it.” I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.
I never went to art school and I never thought of going to an art school. It was just a way of manifesting these ideas I had. Ideas came to me that I needed to express.
Beatles was 20th-century folksong in the framework of capitalism; they couldn’t do anything different if they wanted to communicate within that framework.
Love is what it takes to fly.
Jimmy Carter is the embodiment of dignity, grace, and the hope for a better world – Carlos Santana.
People are afraid of shadows. People are even more afraid of being in the shadow. But without a shadow, life will be two dimensional.
