Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel.

How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio.

Music is your only friend until the end…

Obviously that can only work at moments. It can’t be a lasting thing.

Take it easy baby, take it as it comes – specialize in having fun!

Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.

Drugs are a bet with your mind.

No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

I wouldn’t mind dying in a plane crash. It’d be a good way to go. I don’t want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD…

Give me songs to sing and emerald dreams to dream and I’ll give you love unfolding.

This is alchemy, and this is the office of Vulcan; he is the apothecary and chemist of the medicine.

Cinema, heir of alchemy, last of an erotic science.

Mental alchemy you can effect by thinking of any adversity as an opportunity for power.

This love is soaked in alchemy, our leaden hearts broken by aching pasts have transformed into gold. I never knew love had the power to do so.
