I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday.
We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safer.
I lost myself to music at a very early age, and I remained there.
And now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here. Make good art.
Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are.
Writers do not live one life, they live two. There is the living and then there is the writing. There is the second tasting, the delayed reaction.
It’s a mystery of human chemistry and I don’t understand it, some people, as far as their senses are concerned, just feel like home.
