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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Children are not the people of tomorrow, but are people of today. They have a right to be taken seriously, and to be treated with tenderness and respect. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be. 'The unknown person' inside each of them is our hope for the future.

I'm always showing pictures off. I have to be careful who I show them to because of who I am, obviously, but I'm a proud father.

I mean, look, I wear makeup in films. I don't wear makeup in real life. It's just part of the gig, that's all.

Pace, like everything else in writing, involves a trade-off. If you're not offering the reader a lot of action to keep her interested, you must offer something else in its stead. Slow pace is ideal for complex character development, detailed description, and nuances of style.

I think I love it more as I get older because I keep getting better on drums, vibes and piano.

Among the Internet's many gains for humanity, decreasing paranoia has not been one of them. Anything from that lump under your armpit to what's lurking in the sea - just type it into a search engine and watch your nerves explode.

I'm very lucky, because my beat is current events. And events are changing all the time.

Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.

If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational, existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade, a musical idea, no matter how innovative, is threatened.

Everything we do has consequences.

I have such admiration for Whoopi Goldberg as an actress and a general smart person.

I have compassion, I've told you people that over and over again. Enforcing the law overrides my compassion.

Beauty and fashion are not really local anymore. You really have to be a global citizen to know what trends are. Now, it's pretty much the same designers and the same kind of trends, whether I am in New York, Milan, or Mumbai - it's the same.
