“Romance is finding your fantasy in people who don’t have it.”

People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.

I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.

Everyone needs a fantasy.

I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that’s in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It’s being in the right place at the wrong time.

I still care about people but it would be so much easier not to care. I don’t want to get too close; I don’t like to touch things.

I don’t know where the artificial stops and the real starts.

I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.

As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I’ve found that to be absolutely axiomatic.

I don’t want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.

My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat or in film’s case ‘run on’ manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.

People’s fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn’t have fantasies you wouldn’t have problems because you’d just take whatever was there.

I think everybody should like everybody.

Exposure and attention make a work famous – the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.

I’m really afraid to feel happy because it never lasts

You’d be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.

The more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

People love westerns worldwide. There’s something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It’s a simpler time. There’s no organized laws and stuff.

If we are to make reality endurable, we must all nourish a fantasy or two.

Some people could look at a mud puddle and see an ocean with ships.

See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown Till human voices wake us and we drown.

Fiery the Angels rose, & as they rose deep thunder roll’d Around their shores, indignant burning with the fires of Orc.

I really like how the characters always have to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.
