“It was fun to be clever.”

I’m regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.

I re-invented my image so many times that I’m in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.

I’m very shy. That’s probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.

You should turn around at the end of the day and say I really like that piece of work, or that piece of work sucked. Not, was that popular or wasn’t it popular?

Look up here, I’m in heaven.

It’s a compulsive need to wreck everything. You might notice there’s a pattern of stripping down and building back up again throughout my life. But I guess that’s how some of us conduct our lives.

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I’m home.

Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice.

It’s a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime it is the worst of all.

It’s harder to be kind than clever.

I’m not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts.

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness
