Telling me to relax or smile when I’m angry is like bringing a birthday cake into an ape sanctuary. You’re just asking to get your nose and genitals bitten off.
I want to be around people that do things. I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.
You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.
That is the motto women should constantly repeat over and over again. ‘Good for her! Not for me.’
If you are lucky, there is a moment in your life when you have some say as to what your currency is going to be. I decided early on it was not going to be my looks.
Fighting aging is like the War on Drugs. It’s expensive, does more harm than good, and has been proven to never end.
Shame makes people abandon their children and drink themselves to death. It also keeps us from true happiness. An apology is a glorious release.
Don’t think. Get out of your head. Stop planning and just go.
If you ever want to see heaven, watch a bunch of young girls play. They are all sweat and skinned knees. Energy and open faces.
We were also performing. We’d give them a list of, like, ‘Here’s how we want to be introduced’ They’d be like, ‘Great’ And then 5 minutes later they’d come back, ‘Bad news: we lost your list. But good news: we’ve got a trash bag full of weed!’
Emotions are like passing storms, and you have to remind yourself that it won’t rain forever. You just have to sit down and watch it pour outside and then peek your head out when it looks dry.
If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.
I’ve grown tired of smoke and mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place.
I am a firm believer that every few years one needs to shake one’s life through a sieve, like a miner in the Yukon. The gold nuggets remain. The rest falls through like the soft earth it is.
I know enough now to know I know nothing.
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. Continue to share your heart with people even if it’s been broken.
I used to get my hair dyed at a place called Big Hair. It cost $15. They just used straight bleach, so my hair was the color of white lined paper, and my eyebrows looked like they were done with a thick black marker.
I think real life couples on screen are kind of deadly. For the most part, they’re kind of deadly. You’d be surprised. Unless they’re falling in love onscreen for the first time, you don’t have quite the same energy for some reason.
I get a little itchy if I don’t have some control.
Looking silly can be ver powerful. People who are committing and taking risks become the king and queen of my prom. People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way.
Make no a complete sentence.
