Pensaram que eu era surrealista, mas nunca fui. Nunca pintei sonhos, só pintei a minha própria realidade.

Pés, para que os quero, se tenho asas para voar.

Isolar-se no próprio sofrimento é permitir que ele destrua o interior.

No dia a dia suporto muito mais do que imagino.

Nada é definitivo. Tudo muda tudo se move, tudo gira, tudo voa e desaparece.

Cada tic-tac é mais um segundo da vida que passou. Fugiu e não voltará. E já que a vida é intensa e com tantos interesses, o problema é descobrir como vivê-la.

O que não me mata me alimenta.

Não creio que as margens de um rio sofram por deixá-lo correr.

A beleza e a feiura são miragens. Através delas os outros podem ver o nosso interior.

Escolha uma pessoa que olhe você com magia.

Se eu pudesse lhe dar alguma coisa na vida, eu lhe daria a capacidade de ver a si mesmo através dos meus olhos. Só então você perceberia como é especial para mim.

Eu sou a desintegração.

Amuralhar o próprio sofrimento é arriscar que ele te devore a partir do teu interior.

Bebia para afogar as mágoas, mas as malditas aprenderam a nadar.

Pinto a mim mesma porque sou sozinha e porque sou o assunto que conheço melhor.

Agora, vivo num planeta dolorido, transparente como o gelo. É como se houvesse aprendido tudo de uma vez, numa questão de segundos. Minhas amigas e colegas tornaram-se mulheres lentamente. Eu envelheci em instantes e agora tudo está embotado e plano. Sei que não há nada escondido; se houvesse, eu veria.

(E o que mais dói) é viver num corpo que é o sepulcro que nos aprisiona (segundo Platão), do mesmo modo como a concha aprisiona a ostra.

Espero que a partida seja feliz e espero nunca mais voltar.

Se existe vida após a morte, não me esperem, porque eu não vou.

Diego, houve dois grandes acidentes na minha vida: o bonde e você. Você, sem dúvida, foi o pior deles.

Historically, filmmakers always fall in love with every frame, but now that even neophytes are given final cut, this love affair carries with it serious economic implications.

It sounds extraordinary, but it's a fact that balance sheets can make fascinating reading.

Never change who you are so that other people will like you. Just be yourself and the right people will love you just for being you.

Most rich countries have reported increases in happiness as they become richer.

I make time to look after myself.

People tend to play in their comfort zone so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise actually.

I have a brother and sister; my mother does not care for thought, and father, too busy with his briefs to notice what we do. He buys me many books, but begs me not to read them, because he fears they joggle the mind.

To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.

I keep my weight low, although you need to be able to move your weight around the race car to change the balance. I'm 6ft and I'm 70kg so I haven't much fat on me.

Circumstances in life often take us places that we never intended to go. We visit some places of beauty, others of pain and desolation.

My mum said she remembers me asking her if she'd take me to ballet lessons when I was about two and a half. She said I could barely speak, and yet was asking for ballet lessons.

The country has moved off track. The people in Washington don't have the hard-nosed business experience needed to get the economy up and running.

The best thing that can happen to people entering creative professions is the dwindling of all other possibilities.

Golf is a game that's played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears.

My favorite makeup look was for my 'Eyes Wide Open' video done by Torsten Witte. It was so dramatic and definitely captured the magic of the video.

You've got to guard against speaking more clearly than you think.

I kind of have a dilettantish spirit about me.

Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion.

I think taking vacations and turning off the phone and only doing emails or social media for a specific short amount of time helps with work/life balance. If I'm checking it all day I start to feel cuckoo-bird. So I just do it once or twice a day instead of a thousand. And then remembering that it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter.

Creating a body of mathematics is about intellectual labor, not some kind of transcendental revelation. There are plenty of important components of European fractal geometry that are missing from the African version.

Music feels like a six sense to me, and it's never been just a hobby. It's something that I have to do to breathe. It's an extension of who I am.

Limit use of shareware and public domain software to systems without fixed disks. If you do use them on fixed disks, allocate separate subdirectories... Public domain or shareware software should never be placed in the root directory.

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

I am immensely contrite. And I'm sorry for the damage I've done.
