“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.”

Being an entrepreneur doesn’t make you a rich tycoon and being an innovator doesn’t mean that you’re successful. It just means that you’re interesting.

We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art.

I’m personally more struck by visual things more than musical.

I suppose my approach to religion is like my approach to music – I take what I want and leave the rest.

When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.

Being human is difficult. Some people make it more difficult than others. I was one of those people.

I’ve got a war in my mind.

Life is beautiful, but you don’t have a clue.

The angels decided to shine on me for a little while.

Taking time for your art is taking time for yourself.

I never stopped writing about what was actually going on in my life. There’s nothing to hide.

I love to sing and I really love to write, but in terms of being onstage, I’m not that comfortable.

Even if you’re the best singer in the world, there’s a good chance no one will ever hear you.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day.

When you’re a gypsy at heart, it probably suits you to be traveling.

When you’re an introvert like me and you’ve been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It’s a real release.

The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

We do not support the man. We do not support the individual. We support the idea of independent revolution in the Western Hemisphere, free from American intervention.

Do what you want to do, and don’t feel pressure to do what other people want.

Femininity for me means happiness and freedom, freedom of being who you are in whatever shape or size you come in.

Feel free to make time to do absolutely nothing.

When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it. That’s what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we’re going to have weapon sweeps.

The moment you declare a set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision, or contempt, freedom of thought becomes impossible.

Happiness is within you… so unlock the chains from your heart and let yourself grow- like the sweet flower you are. I know the answer- just spread your wings and set yourself free.
